Alimony In Maryland

Alimony: The claim for alimony is based upon financial need of the party requesting alimony and the financial ability of the other party to pay. Alimony can be either temporary, permanent or indefinite. Typically, in Maryland the Court's will award alimony as rehabilitative alimony. This means the award will be designed to give the non-financially dominant spouse some amount of money for a specific period of time in an effort to allow that spouse to make the adjustment from married to single.
