Alimony

In Nevada, the family court is authorized to award alimony, also referred to as spousal support.  The court is authorized to award temporary alimony to be paid by one spouse to the other spouse while the divorce litigation is pending.  The court is also authorized to award alimony at the conclusion of the divorce litigation.  In Nevada, alimony automatically terminates at the death of either party or the subsequent remarriage of the party receiving alimony, unless otherwise ordered by the court. 

The determination to award alimony is based largely on the specific facts and evidence presented to the court in each divorce case.  Also, the amount of alimony awarded is largely based on these facts and evidence.  Therefore, when alimony is an issue in a divorce case in Nevada, it is important for a party to be represented by experienced and knowledgeable legal counsel.
