What is Spousal support?

Spousal support or “alimony” is often a part of divorce proceedings in North Carolina. Alimony is paid by a “supporting spouse,” and is paid to a “dependent spouse.” These payments may take the form of a single lump sum, or may be made on a monthly basis depending on the situation.
