Depending on the situation, the courts may award one of several different types of alimony, including the following:
- Permanent alimony: generally awarded for longer marriages of 10 or more years where one party can demonstrate an economic need
- Rehabilitative alimony: usually involves paying for the education/training required to get the non-working spouse employed again
- Limited duration alimony: Common in short marriages, this is rewarded when economic assistance is needed for only a short time.
- Reimbursement alimony: involves reimbursement of money for contributions made to the professional training or career development of the other spouse, such as for advanced education
