Alimony in Maryland
Maryland has several forms of alimony. During the process of litigation, a spouse can be entitled to an award of "pendente lite" alimony. This type of alimony is of a temporary nature to assist one party until the litigation is over. The court solely considers the "needs" of the party seeking alimony against the ability to pay of the other party.
Once you get to the final trial, the court could award either rehabilitative or permanent alimony. While these types of alimony seem self-explanatory, the court is required to consider several statutory factors in making their determination as to whether either form of alimony should be awarded.
