If you live in New Jersey and are getting a divorce, alimony is probably on your mind. Whether you think you are going to receive it, or have to pay it, more than likely, alimony will be a hotly debated issue in your divorce negotiation. Alimony, also called spousal support, is simply money paid from one ex-spouse to another once the divorce is final.
The purpose is so spouses, regardless of income levels, can enjoy a post-divorce lifestyle similar to the one enjoyed during the life of the marriage. Additionally, it is available so one spouse is not left financially destitute after staying home to care for the house and children while the other built a substantial career during the marriage.
