Post Separation Support is spousal support which is paid until, among other things, the date specified in the order for post separation support or the entry of an order awarding or denying alimony. Alimony means an order for payment for the support and maintenance of a spouse or former spouse, periodically or in a lump sum, for a specified or for an indefinite term.

North Carolina law sets forth various factors in determining whether a spouse is ineligible for financial support from the other spouse. If a spouse fails to bring an action for post separation support or alimony before an absolute divorce is obtained, the right to do so is forever lost.
