Separate Support and Maintenance

If you are not yet divorced but want security while living apart from your spouse, separate support and maintenance is for you. This allows you to decide child support, Indian Land alimony, custody, and even property division prior to your divorce. This may not divorce you, but it will provide you with security until you divorce or reconcile.

Types of Alimony and Factors

Indian Land alimony has four different types. These are:

  • Periodic
  • Lump sum
  • Rehabilitative
  • Reimbursement

Of the four types of alimony available, courts prefer to award periodic. However, if you had a brief marriage, the courts will look to another type or refuse to award it. If the court award permanent alimony, it can still end if the support party remarries or there is a change in circumstances.

When a court decides how much alimony to award, it looks at 13 factors. These factors help the court preserve the standard of living of the parties. Also, if a party has committed adultery, he or she cannot receive alimony.
