Under What Circumstances Will the Court Award Alimony or Spousal Support?

The obligation of spouses to support each other does not necessarily terminate when they divorce. If the divorce will leave one spouse with very little income and the other with enough to contribute to the low-income spouse's support, the court will usually award alimony, at least temporarily.  Alimony may be awarded to either spouse depending on the specific economic circumstances of the parties.
