Legal Assistance for Alimony
Alimony is financial support paid to a former spouse. There are different types of alimony in South Carolina. Permanent, periodic alimony is paid on a regular schedule over time. Alimony terminates on the death of either party or when the receiving spouse begins to cohabitate or decides to remarry. This alimony is modifiable based on a showing of a substantial change in circumstances.
