Understanding Spousal Support
Spousal support is financial assistance awarded to one spouse during or after a divorce to help maintain a standard of living similar to that enjoyed during the marriage. It is designed to support the lesser-earning spouse while they adjust to life after separation. Understanding the different types of spousal support is crucial:
Temporary Alimony
This type of support is awarded during the divorce proceedings to assist the lower-earning spouse until a final decision is made.
Bridge-the-Gap Alimony
This is designed to provide support for a short period to help the recipient transition from married to single life, typically lasting no more than two years.
Rehabilitative Alimony
This type is awarded to help the recipient gain the skills or education necessary to become self-sufficient, with a defined duration.
Permanent Alimony
Awarded after a long marriage, this type of support continues indefinitely or until the recipient remarries or passes away.
