Alimony Explained by a Divorce Lawyer

Do you have to pay alimony during a divorce? The answer is: it depends.

In this episode, attorney John Henderson explains how alimony works in South Carolina, the factors that courts consider, and the different types of alimony that may apply depending on your situation. Whether you are the one who might pay or receive support, understanding how these decisions are made is crucial.

You’ll learn:

● What alimony is and what it is not

● The 4 types of alimony awarded in South Carolina

● Why length of marriage and financial disparity matter

● How adultery can impact alimony

● Why alimony is different from child support

● When alimony is not likely to apply

Alimony is one of the most negotiated issues in a divorce. Unlike child support, there is no calculator, it is fact specific and depends on your unique situation.
