4. What do we need to do to get alimony?
During a divorce, either spouse can ask the judge to award
spousal support. In Mississippi, this type of financial support from one spouse
to the other is known as alimony. The court will consider an alimony award if
need financial support and your spouse is able to provide it. You can show
financial need even if you have a job, as long as you can prove that your
income is not enough to provide for your reasonable needs. An alimony award
might also be appropriate if you are unemployable, meaning that you lack
training or education or you have a disability and are unable to work. Before
the court can award alimony, it has to look at your needs and your spouse’s
ability to pay.
