There are two common reasons for rehabilitative support: To assist the spouse receiving support as he or she works toward attaining self-sufficiency, or to allow the custodial parent of young children to remain home with the child(ren) until the youngest child begins school.
3. 报销的支持 reimburses one spouse for expenses he or she paid in support of the other. One of the more common reasons for reimbursement support is when one spouse worked to help put the other through college and build a career. 报销的支持 may be paid over time or in one lump sum.
4. 永久的支持 lasts until the death of either the payor or the payee; it may also end if the payee remarries (but not always).
