Spousal support, frequently known as alimony, is financial assistance provided by one spouse to the other after a divorce. This crucial support mechanism aims to reduce the financial impact on a spouse who earns less income, ensuring both parties can move forward with their lives independently. Whether termed maintenance, alimony, or spousal support, its purpose remains the same—to provide financial stability during and after the dissolution of marriage.
Under Illinois law, spousal support awards are gender-neutral, meaning that either spouse may be eligible to receive or required to pay support. However, such awards are not automatic; Illinois divorce courts have discretion in deciding whether maintenance is appropriate based on various factors outlined in Section 5/504(a) of The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (IMDMA).
