durational alimony

Durational alimony is a court-ordered financial support paid by one spouse to the other for a set period after divorce. It provides ongoing assistance but is limited to a predetermined timeframe, which is specified in the divorce agreement or court order. This type of alimony is often awarded when one spouse needs temporary support to adjust to a new financial situation, such as after a marriage of a fixed length. Unlike permanent alimony, durational alimony does not continue indefinitely and typically ends once the specified period concludes.
