Alimony and spousal support are legal obligations that require one spouse to provide financial assistance to the other following a divorce or separation. These terms are often used interchangeably, though their specific definitions may vary by state. Generally, alimony aims to minimize any unfair economic consequences of divorce by providing continued income to a non-wage-earning or lower-wage-earning spouse. The amount and duration of support depend on various factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, and their standard of living during the marriage.
