Types of Spousal Support in Atlanta

Typically, there are two types of alimony, also known as spousal support:

• Permanent alimony: Payments continue until the death of paying spouse or remarriage of the spouse receiving payments.
• Rehabilitative/Temporary alimony: Payment for short duration only. The main aim of this payment is to enable the spouse to gain skills or experience needed to get employment so financial independence can be achieved, or just during the course of divorce proceedings.

Many factors are considered while finalizing the support amount, for example:

• Length and duration of the marriage
• Marital conduct
• Earning capacity and financial resources of both the spouses
• Contribution of each spouse to the marital estate
• Age and health of each spouse
• The financial value of the estate of each spouse
• Standard of living followed the couple while they were married
• The time needed by one of the spouses to gain employment

In Georgia, the financial responsibility of your spouse does not necessarily end because the marriage is ending.
