Can I get spousal support?

Spousal support is money one spouse pays to help support the other spouse during or after a divorce. It is sometimes also called “alimony.” You can ask for spousal support if you need help with money and you believe your spouse can provide it to you. The judge will decide if the support payments would be in the “best interests” of both you and your spouse. The judge can give you temporary spousal support while the case is going on, permanent spousal support that would continue after the divorce, or both. You or your spouse can ask the judge to change the support payments at any time.1
