Alimony is court ordered spousal support. It can be awarded as a set lump sum (alimony in gross) or as periodic payments that terminate under certain circumstances, such as remarriage of the receiving spouse, death of either spouse, or the cohabiting of the receiving spouse as defined in the Alabama Code.
