Punitive

Explanation:

There is nothing like punitive alimony, the purpose of alimony is not punitive, rather, it is to support the spouse after separation. Four major types of alimony are; periodic alimony, lump sum alimony, rehabilitative alimony, and reimbursement alimony.

Lump Sum Alimony is awarded as a fixed sum that can be paid all at once or in installments and temporary alimony is an order for support that comes during a divorce, legal separation or even an annulment case after one party has filed such a request with the court.
