What Types of Alimony Exist?
Alimony is not awarded in every case. In fact, in recent years it has been awarded for shorter periods of time than in the past. There are several types of alimony that can be awarded by the court including:
- Transitional: This type of alimony is awarded to assist one of the parties with a transition from married to single life. It is set at a certain amount, for a certain time period and it cannot be modified. That means, if the recipient married after receiving this award, the new marriage would have no effect on the award.
- Rehabilitative: The purpose of this type of alimony is to help a spouse get back on his or her feet. It provides some support to help an individual find a better job or go back to school.
- In solido: This alimony is paid in a lump sum. It might end up being thousands of dollars, but it is a one-time payment. Nothing else is required after that payment.
- In futuro: This type of alimony payment is rare and only used for long-term marriages and older adults. It continues until death or remarriage.
