​The main reason why the court orders for alimony is to preserve the former lifestyle of your ex-spouse.  Alimony is provided where one of the spouse is earning little or no income at all. However, spousal support only applies to cases where the spouses involved were actually married. For the court to award alimony, some of the factors that they look into include;
  • How long was the marriage (length in years)
  • Financial situation in terms of property and assets
  • Net income of the spouses
  • Contribution to the household
  • Conditions such as age and health.

There are several types of alimony one can pursue though they differ across states. They are;
  • Permanent Alimony
This is whereby spousal support payments are to be made for an undetermined period of time. It is commonly offered to a spouse whose chance of attaining financial independence is significantly small.

  • Temporary Alimony
During the divorce proceedings, a spouse may obtain help from an alimony lawyer Benicia to enable him or her to not only sustain him/herself during the divorce period but also to meet the costs accrued in the divorce suit.

  • Reimbursement Alimony
This is whereby the spouse is required to compensate his/her former spouse.
​
  • Rehabilitative Alimony
These are payments made when the spouse is involved in activities which will later enable them to become self-supportive such as training, education and necessary experience.
​
  • Lump Sum Alimony
This is a fixed amount of payment that is made only once.
​

Alimony is also subject to modification or termination. How long one has to pay for alimony depends on the following:
  • Duration ruled by the presiding judge
  • The unfortunate case where one dies
  • An ex-spouse remarries
  • When it is evident that after some time the spouse getting the alimony has not made any effort to support him/herself in the very least.
  • If a round-the-clock parent is not required at home where children are involved.
  • Where an event occurs and the judge is made sure to change the terms of the agreement.
