When Do Judges Award Alimony?

Also known as “spousal support,” alimony helps keep both spouses in the same standard of living they had while they were still married. Alimony awards are decided case by case, based on factors such as whether one spouse requires support and whether the other spouse is able to provide support.

If a judge agrees with your alimony lawyer’s position and decides to issue you an award, they may order:

• Permanent periodic alimony, which you’d receive until you remarry or pass away
• Durational alimony, which would continue for a set amount of time (but for no longer than the length of your marriage)
• Bridge-the-gap alimony, which you’d receive for up to two years while you transition from being married to being single
• Rehabilitative alimony, which would be intended to help cover your education and/or retraining costs (you’d likely qualify for this type of alimony only if you haven’t worked recently)
• Temporary alimony, which you’d receive until your divorce is finalized
