Trying to maintain your current standard of living after dissolving your marriage is one of the most difficult parts of divorce. A house that you could afford on two incomes may be too expensive on one income, and providing for other necessities may become a challenge.

Whether you are sure you want to end your marriage or are still considering your options, it helps to understand your rights when it comes to alimony. Sometimes called spousal support or spousal maintenance, alimony is a court-ordered provision of financial support for one spouse from the other after a divorce.
