Alimony in a Savannah Georgia Divorce Case

Alimony is a payment, usually made on a monthly basis from one spouse to the other. In some cases alimony is paid in one lump sum.

If the court orders the alimony to be paid in regular payments, and that spouse dies or remarries the alimony will end.

The issue of alimony is why most fault divorces are filed. When the judge rules that one spouse was the cause of the divorce, that spouse generally will not be entitled to alimony.

If you have been awarded alimony by the court, and your spouse is not paying it, the court can order your spouse into garnishment, where a portion of their income that is supposed to pay alimony is taken out of their paycheck before they receive it.
