Alimony or spousal support is payments that are awarded by the court during divorce proceedings that instructs one spouse to make monthly or a lump sum payment to the other spouse. Laws pertaining to alimony have changed significantly during the past few decades. In the past, women were stay-at-home moms and needed alimony to avoid any adverse change in their financial circumstances due to a divorce. Today, due to the fact that women have successful careers, alimony is very seldom awarded during divorce proceedings. In most cases, alimony is intended to provide monetary compensation to the recipient for their unpaid contributions during the marriage, and to help them to gain financial independence. Alimony laws vary in each state. There are many factors which a court considers before granting alimony. One factor is the duration of the marriage, and whether the ex spouse has the mental and physical ability to earn a living wage. Another important consideration is the spouse's age, and whether or not, they have the marketable skills to earn a living. Usually, a marriage must last a minimum of 10 years before spousal support is granted. There are several types of spousal support which is awarded on the basis of an individual personal financial situation during the marriage. Pendente alimony is temporary spousal support that is awarded until the divorce is finalized. Rehabilitative alimony is temporary spousal support designed to enable a spouse to obtain the education and job training to become sufficiently self-supporting. Permanent alimony is paid until the recipient of the alimony payments dies or remarries. Usually, permanent alimony payments are awarded to a spouse whose marriage has lasted for a very long duration. If the spouse is elderly and suffering from an illness or disability, which prevents them from being gainfully employed, they will receive permanent alimony. According to the laws of the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, a spouse who has the ability to earn a living will not receive any alimony support.
