Essentially there are five types of spousal support (alimony):

  • Temporary spousal support: is typically in cases of short marriage duration where a spouse has a demonstrated need and the other an ability and it is designed to assist the lower income earning spouse pending the resolution of the divorce lawsuit

  • Lump sum spousal support: is a one time payment of a set amount.  It is applicable in a marriage which is not too short but not too long in duration

  • Rehabilitative spousal support: is typically alimony designed to assist the lower income earning spouse as he or she travels through their rehabilitative plan, the plan being a formulation of strategies and goals to increase one's earning ability

  • Permanent spousal support: is in marriages of long duration, typically over 15 years and typically does not end until the payee spouse dies, remarries or is in a supportive relationship by law

  • Bridge-the-gap spousal support: is a type of alimony which is of a short duration typically to assist the lower income earning spouse into his or her post divorce earnings.

When making rulings in spousal support cases, the courts often consider:

  • The length of the marriage;

  • The conduct of the parties during the marriage

  • The age, health, station, occupation, amount and sources of income, vocational skills, employability, estate, and essential liabilities of both parties; and

  • The both parties opportunities for future acquisition of capital assets and income.

Courts generally also consider the contribution of each of the parties in the acquisition, preservation or appreciation in value of their respective estates and the contribution of each of the parties as a homemaker to the family unit. Spousal support (alimony) can continue indefinitely, until death or remarriage, or can be set for a fixed period of time.
