Rehabilitative Alimony

Rehabilitative alimony is a type of financial support that one spouse may pay to the other after separation or divorce. Its primary purpose is to help the receiving spouse gain the necessary education, skills, or training to become self-sufficient. This kind of alimony is typically temporary and intended to support the recipient during a specific period of transition, such as returning to school or starting a new career. The goal is to enable the recipient to ultimately support themselves without ongoing financial assistance.
