What Is Spousal Support?
Sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, spousal support is the amount of money paid by one spouse to another during the course of and after the conclusion of a divorce. This money is awarded in order to support an individual's life, often in the manner he or she became accustomed to during the marriage.
Factors Considered when Determining Support
When the amount of alimony support payments need to be set, the courts consider a number of factors, including:
- The length of the marriage
- The age of the parties
