What Is Alimony?

Alimony is a payment from one spouse to another after a divorce. There are two types:

• Temporary alimony is paid during the divorce process.
• Permanent alimony is paid after the divorce is finalized.

Courts will consider many factors when determining alimony, such as:

• Each spouse's financial situation
• How long the marriage lasted
• Each spouse's earning capacity
• Each spouse's contribution to the marriage
• The age of each spouse
• Each spouse's physical and mental health

An experienced alimony lawyer in Suffolk County can help you understand your options and pursue the best solution for your unique situation.

• The length of the marriage
• Each spouse's financial situation
• How long it will take the supported spouse to become self-supporting
• Each spouse's physical and mental health
• Each spouse's earning capacity
