Alimony

What is Alimony?

Alimony, maintenance or spousal support is an obligation established by divorce law or family law in many countries. This obligation is based on the premise that both spouses have an absolute obligation to support each other during their marriage (or civil union).  Alimony is the extension of the obligation to support after separation or divorce.

Merriam-Webster defines alimony as: an allowance made to one spouse by the other for support pending or after legal separation or divorce.

Alimony is not child support, which is another ongoing financial obligation often established in divorce. Child support is where one parent is required to contribute to the support of his or her children through the agency of the child's other parent or legal guardian.
