Spousal support is court-ordered payments that one spouse may be required to pay to another upon divorce to support the spouse while they obtain a job, further their education or are bringing in an income not sufficient to somewhat maintain their previous lifestyle. Several factors, varying by state, may contribute to a court modifying or ending the spousal support including a change in either party's financial circumstances or remarriage of the spouse receiving it.
