Lake Norman Spousal Support Attorneys
Spousal support, also referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, is divided into two categories:- Post-separation support is temporary and designed to provide for the less financially independent spouse until a final order of alimony is entered.
- Permanent alimony is the spousal support awarded to the less financially independent spouse. Permanent, in this context, is only used to refer to the fact that the order has been entered. The court can stipulate whether the award is paid in a lump sum or periodically over a specified or undetermined length of time.
