Even if a divorce happens by mutual decision, it can be overwhelming to face the prospect of suddenly having to provide for one's sole support. Regardless of the circumstances under which the divorce occurs, Montana law provides a safety net for divorcing individuals who may be unable to support themselves. It is commonly known as alimony, sometimes also referred to as spousal support or spousal maintenance.
