What is permanent alimony?

When two spouses divorce, differences between financial situations for each individual may result in the court awarding one spouse alimony to provide support for living expenses. While courts will usually put a time limit on how long these payments must be made, there are some instances in which permanent alimony is decided to be applicable for the situation. Typically, though, these payments will still end if the person receiving the alimony remarries.
