What is Alimony:
Payment that a family court may order one person in a couple to make to the other person when that couple separates or divorces. Alimony is an award for support and maintenance that one spouse may be compelled to pay to another after dissolution of the marriage,
In the common legal sense of the word, alimony is the allowance which by order of the court a husband pays to his wife for her maintenance while she is living separately from him, or the allowance or provision ordered by the court to be paid by her former husband to a divorced woman. There are two kinds of alimony, the one kind, alimony pendente lite, being an allowance to the wife pending a suit between herself and her husband, and the other the allowance or provision after suit, and which is known as permanent alimony.
