There are various types of support in Pennsylvania. Your team needs an attorney who can help you navigate each.

• Spousal support: Support paid to a financially dependent spouse after the spouses have separated and before a divorce complaint is filed.

• Alimony pendente lite (APL): From Latin and meaning, “payment pending the suit.” This is temporary alimony ordered by the courts between the divorce filing and the final divorce decree.

• Alimony: Support paid to the lesser-earning spouse after the entry of a divorce decree for a certain period of time, the death of the payor, the death of the recipient, cohabitation of the recipient or the remarriage of the recipient.
