How Does Alimony Work in North Carolina?
In a divorce, spouses are expected to live separate lives going forward. This can be difficult when one spouse earns significantly more money than the other. In these cases, courts can order one spouse to make periodic payments to the other spouse for financial support. These payments are known as alimony or spousal support.
Types of Alimony in North Carolina
There are two main types of alimony in North Carolina:
- Lump-sum alimony
- Rehabilitative alimony
In some cases, the court may order a combination of both types. Lump-sum alimony refers to a one-time payment to a spouse for their financial support. Rehabilitative alimony refers to payments that are made over a specified period of time. This type of support is meant to cover the spouse's cost of living while they get back on their feet and become self-supporting again.
In addition, the court may order transitional alimony, which refers to payments that are made during a transitional period between the end of a marriage and the beginning of a new one. While you don't need to be married to receive alimony, this type of support is generally only awarded to a spouse who has been married for at least 10 years.
