One misconception about divorce is that alimony (also called spousal support) is awarded in every case. The truth is that every case is different, and you should not make any assumptions about paying or receiving alimony. Talk to a trusted lawyer before drawing any conclusions.

Spousal Maintenance/Support Is Determined by Many Factors

- The length of marriage
- Each party's income and earnings potential
- Child custody and child care arrangements
- Who was at fault in the divorce
