Spousal support, also known as alimony, is the payment that one spouse makes to another after a divorce in order to assure the former spouse is able to meet her or his needs.

There are laws in place in California to protect a divorced spouse from being financially abandoned after the divorce. There are also situations in which spousal support can be reduced or terminated, depending on the circumstances.
