Despite the importance lawyers might place on a motion to compel in a particular case, the fact is itâs probably the most routine motion decided by judges. So for the ordinary motion to compel thereâs no reason to include voluminous legal authority to support basic legal propositions.
Alimony is a legal financial arrangement between separated or divorced couples, whereby one partner provides regular payments to the other. It is only available to couples that have been legally married. Unmarried couples have palimony for relief.
Your ability to have alimony changed depends on what type of alimony was awarded in the first place. In some states, alimony is called spousal maintenance or spousal support. There are four basic kinds of alimony: 1  Temporary alimony.2  This is meant to provide support during the divorce action. But in some states, temporary alimony can be ended if the receiving spouse remarries. 2  Rehabilitative alimony. 3  This is given to help a dependent spouse become self-supporting. 4  It might last long enough for the spouse to get a job, learn a new job skill, or complete their education.
