Spousal Support
Spousal support is otherwise known as alimony. Spousal support is appropriate in long-term marriages where one spouse earned a much higher income than the other. Whether spousal support is for a term of years or permanent depends on how many years the couple has been married. The monthly amount of the spousal support depends on the needs of the spouse receiving support to meet his/her monthly living expenses and the ability to pay of the spouse who owes the support.
