Am I Entitled to Alimony?
You are entitled to alimony if you need support, and your spouse can pay it. A Court can order alimony for several reasons. Alimony may be required to help a spouse earn more or get a job. Or it could be awarded to help a spouse return to school so they have a higher earning capacity. In Tennessee, a Court may order temporary, short-term, or long-term alimony.
