The Difference Between Alimony and Post-Separation Support
Post-separation support is different from alimony. A spouse can file for and receive post-separation support during the divorce process. Once the divorce decree is finalized, however, post-separation support will stop and alimony will be paid.
The court will award alimony based on consideration of a variety of factors, including:
- Length of marriage
- Financial circumstances of both parties
- The education and training of each spouse
- Whether one spouse supported the other through school
The long term financial needs of a spouse are one of the principal factors in determining whether temporary support or permanent alimony will be awarded. Rest assured, we can help ensure that you have the financial resources you will need to begin your life anew after the divorce is finalized.
