The court said interim alimony can remedy an injustice not addressed by the other recognized categories of assistance. The Iowa court’s decision came in the case of a Dubuque doctor who was appealing a decision by the Iowa Court of Appeals awarding his ex-wife $1.2 million in 12-year child support.
The Supreme Court ruled that factors in marriage supported the need for an alternative to traditional alimony.
