Answer: Permanent Alimony

Explanation:

A permanent alimony is a legally backed payment form, which involves a higher earning spouse to periodically send funds to their divorced spouse as long as they live. This is done to support the other spouse especially when they find it hard to earn a living as a result limitations given to them by spouse.
