The purpose of spousal support, or alimony, is different than dividing the assets. Unlike the equity in a home or the savings in a bank, spousal support is looking to keep the spouses on equal financial footing. Alimony attempts to equalize the income earning one spouse has gained over marriage, that the other spouse hasn’t gained. The best way to maximize alimony or minimize alimony payments is to work closely with your divorce lawyers.
Nevada has three types of alimony:
- temporary alimony
- rehabilitative alimony
- permanent alimony
