Are you going through a divorce in California and wondering if there is a difference between alimony and spousal support?
Alimony vs Spousal Support
Basically, they are the exact same thing. Alimony and spousal support are interchangeable terms that are used in court to establish the amount of support that one spouse has to pay to the other.
Normally, it’s broken down into whether the marriage is a long term or short term marriage to determine the duration of the alimony or spousal support order.
While generally the terms are used interchangeably, every state is different. In California, we use the term spousal support to discuss this topic.
