Spousal Support

To Wit

Payment for support of an ex-spouse (or a spouse while a divorce is pending) ordered by the court. more commonly called alimony, spousal support is the term used in california and a few other states as part of new non-confrontational language (such as “dissolution” instead of “divorce”) now used since divorce is “no-fault” in all states but two.
