Cam acelasi lucru ce spuneam si eu. Initial alimony se platea doar in cazul in care cei doi erau separati dar inca legal casatoriti.Dupa divort acel suport financiar se numea mentinere sau suport. Tot un drac. :cry:
Alimony
An amount given to one spouse to another while they are separated(monies paid while spouses were legally separated but stilled wedlocked)Where they were divorced, the monies payable were then referred to as "maintenance" but this distinction is now in disuse, the preference being to the generic term of spousal support.

Spousal Support also known as spousal maintenance or alimony.
Payments to an ex-spouse which are temporary or indefinite, lump sum or periodic, designed to pool and share the income of both spouses for that period of time necessary for the lower-income spouse to become economically self-sufficient.
