Alimony – this is a payment of money that one spouse pays to the other spouse, the ex. This is also called court ordered support, maintenance support and alimony support as well as spousal support.

Under Arizona divorce law, custodial agreements are discussed when considering alimony. Marital status is not a factor when assets have already been divided. The standard of living is a factor when discussing alimony. Often overlooked and very important, is that contribution to education is an alimony support factor. Explore with your lawyer ANY degree or education your spouse had during your marriage that does or could earn him/her money.

Community property is divided in divorce.

If alimony is awarded it can be in the following methods:

Permanent

When the one who receives the alimony either dies, or remarries alimony is stopped. Some settlements do have provisions if the ex is living with another person.

Lump sum

When one large payment is made to the ex, based on future payments and lifestyles so that monthly payments are not needed.

Temporary

This is when one party is going to make a payment for a certain amount of time, for a few months or years as court ordered.

Rehabilitative

This is the most common, where payments are made to the ex until they become self-sufficient or have completed their education. This is an extended version of temporary.

It is important to remember that just because alimony is being discussed, it does not mean that the courts are going to pass it – there might not be enough assets for the husband or the wife to have to pay the other under any situation.

Because every state has their own set laws and regulations in family court about alimony it is important that you never agree to anything that your lawyer does not know about.
