alimony payments
Post-divorce disbursements
Alimony payments are regular financial support one spouse pays to the other after separation or divorce.
Courts order alimony when one spouse earned significantly more or when the other sacrificed career opportunities during the marriage.
Payments may be temporary or permanent depending on circumstances: She's struggling to make ends meet while waiting for alimony payments to begin.
The term is often redundant since alimony already implies ongoing payments.
