Spousal Support Recent Article List An In-Depth Discussion on Post-Separation Support & Alimony Spousal support is often thought of as payments from a husband to his wife so she can sit around all day and eat chocolate bon-bon’s.

Perhaps during the marriage one party’s career was sacrificed in order to stay home with the children while the other party assumed the role of primary bread winner. Quick Facts on Post-Separation Support & Alimony Post-Separation Support (PSS) is defined as spousal support to be paid until the earlier of either the date specified in the order of post-separation support, or an order awarding or denying alimony. North Carolina Alimony Alimony means payments for the support and maintenance of a spouse, either by lump sum or on a continuing basis.
