We have found that most people who have worked hard in their marriages are granted the right to alimony.
There are different degrees of alimony, including:
- Temporary alimony: A form of payment paid toward the lesser-paid spouse, which generally covers the costs in the divorce proceedings. It typically also covers basic costs, such as food and living expenses during that time period.
- Rehabilitative alimony: An amount of spousal support that is paid to the lesser-earning spouse who may have been a stay-at-home parent throughout the marriage. This form of alimony provides for the spouse until he or she is financially independent or able to start working.
- Lump-sum alimony: Is literally a lump sum of spousal support that the payor pays the payee after a divorce. This amount is typically set up as a payment plan over a specific number of years — continuing regardless if the payee remarries or no longer requires alimony.
- Durational Alimony: Similar to temporary or Rehabilitative alimony but used in marriages that may not be suitable for permanent alimony award.
- Permanent alimony: Similar to child support, permanent alimony is a monthly amount paid to the payee until either the payor or payee dies, or until the payee remarries.
