It is typically awarded during the divorce process to provide financial assistance to a lower-earning spouse until a final divorce settlement is reached or until they can achieve financial self-sufficiency. The duration and amount of short-term spousal support are determined by court orders or agreements between the parties and are designed to address immediate financial needs during the divorce proceedings.","examples":[],"notes":[],"history_note":null,"editorial_note":null,"in_scheme":null,"identifier":null,"description":null,"source":null,"country":null}
