Spousal Support

Spousal support, commonly referred to as alimony, is financial assistance paid by one spouse to the other following a divorce or legal separation. The purpose of spousal support is to provide financial support to the lower-earning spouse and ensure they are not left in a financially difficult situation after the end of the marriage.

The amount and duration of spousal support are determined based on various factors, including the length of the marriage, the financial and earning capacity of both spouses, the standard of living during the marriage, and any contributions made by either spouse (such as homemaking or supporting the other’s career). Spousal support can be temporary, rehabilitative (for the spouse to gain financial independence), or permanent, depending on the circumstances.
