Essentially there are five types of spousal support / alimony:

• Temporary spousal support / alimony: is typically in cases of short marriage duration where a spouse has a demonstrated need and the other an ability and it is designed to assist the lower income earning spouse pending the resolution of the divorce lawsuit.

• Lump sum spousal support / alimony: is a one time payment of a set amount.  It is applicable in a marriage which is not too short but not too long in duration.

• Rehabilitative spousal support / alimony: is typically spousal support designed to assist the lower income earning spouse as he or she travels through their rehabilitative plan, the plan being a formulation of strategies and goals to increase one's earning ability.

• Permanent spousal support / alimony: is in marriages of long duration, typically over 15 years and typically does not end until the payee spouse dies, remarries or is in a supportive relationship by law.

• Bridge-the-gap spousal support / alimony: is a type of spousal support which is of a short duration typically to assist the lower income earning spouse into his or her post divorce earnings.

When granting spousal support / alimony, the courts consider many factors, such as:

• The length of the marriage;

• Documented and proven marital conduct;

• Age of the spouses;

• Health conditions of the spouses;

• The spouses occupations;

• Amount and sources of income;

• Vocational skills & employability;

• Estate and assets;

• Accustomed living standards;

• As well as other related financial needs of the spouse being granted, within reason which are covered under the legal guidelines of alimony and spousal support.

Spousal support / alimony may be awarded indefinitely, until death, until the even of the one receiving spousal support remarries, made as a one time lump sum payment, or be set for a fixed period of time.
