Alimony refers to payments given from one spouse to another after the divorce has been finalized. Unlike spousal support and APL, alimony is discretionary, and the court would determine the nature, amount, and duration of alimony ifit finds that alimony is necessary. There is no automatic right or entitlement to it.
If the check must be payable to the custodial parent, please include the SDU as the co-payee. For example, please make the check payable to “custodial parent and/or the state SDU.” Sending payments electronically to state SDUs is another way to ensure payments arrive quickly and safely.
