TYPES OF MAINTENANCE (ALIMONY) IN ILLINOIS
In Illinois, there are several different types of maintenance that can be paid to former spouses. Even while a divorce case is ongoing, a judge can order that one party pay temporary maintenance to support the other party until the case is completed. Typically, once a judgment is entered, the judge order that permanent maintenance will be awarded, meaning that one party will continue to pay the opposing party a monthly sum to assist the payee with the living expenses they will incur. This maintenance is typically reviewable after a few years where the courts will re-evaluate the situation to determine if maintenance is still appropriate. A party could also receive rehabilitative maintenance, which is awarded when one spouse needs some time to become financial independent, such as to complete schooling or training for a new career. Finally, maintenance can be awarded as either a lump-sum or through monthl payments, with the latter being more common among Illinois divorces.
