In many countries alimony, maintenance or spousal support is an obligation established by law that is based on the premise that both spouses have an absolute obligation to support each other during the marriage (or civil union) unless they are legally separated, though in some instances the obligation to support may continue after separation. Once dissolution proceedings commence either party may seek interim or pendente lite support during the course of the litigation.

Alimony is short for " All the Money" which most men get stuck paying. Alimony is usually paid only if the marriage lasted a certain time, usually 7 or 10 years. men get railroaded every day. The laws suck!! be careful fellas.
