There are many different types of alimony to accommodate various family situations. The most common alimony awards are:

• Temporary alimony is awarded to the spouse with a lesser earning capacity for the duration of the divorce proceedings. This money is typically used to cover living expenses and costs during divorce mediation or litigation.
  
• Rehabilitative alimony is granted to smooth the transition from "dependant" to self-supporting for the less financially capable spouse. Often such as award is given to a parent who was responsible for staying home and raising minor children. Alimony may continue until it is appropriate for the parent to work outside the home.
  
• Lump-sum alimony is one payment made by the payor after the divorce and can be paid over a certain period of time. If a payment plan is implemented, the alimony will continue even in the event that the payee remarries or no longer needs the alimony. Lump-sum may benefit the payor, as the large payment is tax deductible. Contact us for more information about lump-sum alimony.
  
• Permanent periodic alimony is much like child support. A monthly payment will be determined and paid until a substantial change in circumstance, the payee remarries or dies, or until the payor dies.
