Function of the RNA primer: DNA polymerases need a double-stranded DNA region to which they can attach in order to begin copying the rest of the DNA strand. In order to provide this double-stranded attachment site, RNA primers are added by primase, an RNA polymerase which does not require such an attachment site itself.

Similar to limited duration alimony awards, rehabilitative alimony is alimony that is paid only for a specific term.

Note that rehabilitative alimony does not end as a result of remarriage.
