Alimony is a legally binding financial agreement where one member of a separated or divorced couple pays the other member money. Alimony is usually paid when there is a large discrepancy in earnings between spouses. For example, the spouse who was the main breadwinner during the marriage pays alimony to financially support the homemaker spouse. The divorcing couple usually decides on the alimony agreement, though the court can get involved if the couple can't agree.
