Will I have to pay alimony to my ex-spouse?

One of the most admirable qualities of a marriage is that, at its core, it involves the commitment of two people to share a life together. This entails taking pains to promote the welfare of one’s partner, even in the worst of times. The perceived obligation to care for your spouse may be extended beyond the time of your divorce under a number of circumstances. The payments that may be required are termed alimony, or spousal support. In many cases these payments are mandated as part of a divorce, but that decision will be influenced by a number of factors, including the duration of a union, the regular income of each party, and whether an individual is considered to be at-fault for the divorce.
