What You Need To Know About Alimony

There are no set calculations for landing upon alimony payments. The amount, even though there is an alimony statute in South Carolina’s Code of Laws, is governed by case law of the state. Alimony is usually awarded after the dissolution of a long-term marriage when there is a significant difference in each spouse’s income; however, spousal support, or alimony, is not a mandatory requirement.

Whether or not a person is ordered to pay alimony is determined by a number of factors, but all alimony requests must be made in pleadings during family court proceedings. The family court judge makes a final determination on whether to award spousal support, or alimony, and what amount should be paid.
