Published alimony rules in Maryland: alimony is a periodic support payment one former spouse makes to the other and can only be ordered before a final divorce decree is entered - pendente lite is temporary support while the divorce is pending, rehabilitative alimony provides support for a limited time or purpose (the most common type, e.g. two years to earn a degree), and indefinite alimony has no end point and is rare; unless the spouses agree otherwise it can be modified or extended and terminates on death, the recipient's remarriage, or by the court to avoid a harsh result.
- Case types covered (traffic, criminal, civil, judgments and liens, estate, appeals)
- Alimony, or spousal support, is a periodic support payment one former spouse makes to the other. Alimony can only be ordered before a final divorce decree is entered. You cannot ask for alimony after a divorce is final. Pendente lite alimony - This is temporary support one spouse pays to the other while the divorce action is pending (before the court issues a final divorce decree). Rehabilitative alimony - This type of alimony provides support for a limited time or for a limited purpose. The goal is to provide one spouse with temporary support so they can become self-supporting. For example, the court can order alimony for two years to allow the receiving spouse to earn a degree. This is the most common type of alimony. Indefinite alimony - This type provides support to one spouse with no end point. This type of alimony is rare but may be awarded if one spouse cannot make reasonable progress toward becoming self-supporting. This could be because of their age, an illness, or a disability. It may also be ordered if the standard of living of one spouse would significantly change. If you and your spouse cannot reach your own agreement about alimony, the court will decide for you. It will consider a variety of factors including the length of your marriage, your financial situations, how any marital property is divided, the reasons for your divorce, and your and your spouse's ages and health.
