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. There are several types of alimony such as permanent, lump sum, temporary, and rehabilitative. While not all types are considered in all situations, you should know about what can happen in your alimony case so you are best prepared for your future. Alimony was at one time only paid (by tradition) from the
husband to the wife after divorce because she had become accustomed to or
relied on his money. There are many situations where either the male or female
from the house can now be considered to as the head of the house, and will be
required to pay the ex alimony or maintenance payments. If alimony is awarded it can be in the following methods: Permanent Lump sum Temporary Rehabilitative A little trick to keep
in mind when paying out or relying on alimony payments: If you are to be
paying alimony, you can keep life insurance on your ex so that you can recoup
any alimony payments you have made over the years upon their death. This also
works in the opposite method as well, if you are receiving alimony, having life
insurance on the ex that pays you alimony will allow you to replace the money
that they would have paid you if they happen to die. What factors are most often considered when alimony is being discussed? How long you were married, How much you are able to earn, the age of both parties, the physical and mental states of both parties, additional income of both parties, if one spouse was a homemaker, and if one spouse supported the other for years. It is important to remember, 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.
