Frequently Asked Questions
Is alimony the same as child support?
No. Alimony supports the lower-earning spouse; child support is specifically for the children’s expenses. They are calculated separately and serve different purposes.
Can alimony be modified after the divorce?
Yes, in most states either party can request a modification based on a material change in circumstances, such as job loss, retirement, or the recipient’s increased income.
