In Montana, alimony is referred to as spousal maintenance.
This refers to the money that one spouse is ordered to pay to the other. This is separate from child support, so sometimes one spouse will be ordered to pay child support, as well as maintenance.
If you have been married to your spouse for several years, if you lack the means to provide for your reasonable needs, and if you are unable to support yourself through employment (because you've been a stay-at-home mom, or have a lack of qualifications and skills, etc.), then you should ask your lawyer about requesting maintenance in your Petition.
