What Is Alimony?

Also known as “spousal support” or “spousal maintenance,” alimony is a court-ordered payment made from one former spouse to another after a divorce. Generally, payments are made by the spouse in the more financially advantageous position to the other spouse. The courts will determine how much and for how long alimony payments will be made.

When determining alimony, the court considers:

  • Current income of both parties
  • Income potential of both parties
  • Lifestyle lived during the marriage
  • Property and other assets
  • Contributions made by both spouses during the marriage
  • Any existing pre- or post-nuptial agreements

While many factors are considered when determining spousal support, the gender of the spouses is not a factor. If a woman is in a stronger financial position than her former husband, she may have to pay spousal support, and vice versa.
