Alimony is the Payment made to a separated or divorced spouse as required by a Divorce Decree or Separation Agreement.
Where a divorce or dissolution of marriage (civil union) is granted either party may ask for Post-Marital Alimony. It is not an absolute right but may be granted the amount and terms varying with the circumstances. If one party is already receiving support at the time of the divorce the previous order is not automatically continued (although this can be requested) as the arguments for support during and after the marriage can be different.

What is Alimony?
Factors Affecting Alimony
“These are your peak earning years, my friend. You’ve got kids to think about. And soon enough, alimony.” ― Garth Risk Hallberg
In U.S. states where fault is recognized fault can significantly affect alimony increasing reducing or even nullifying it. Many U.S. states are ‘no-fault’ states where one does not have to show fault to get divorced. No-fault divorce spares the spouses the acrimony of the ‘fault’ processes and closes the eyes of the court to any and all improper spousal behavior.
