| | Divorce Law Spousal Support (Alimony) | | |
An award of spousal support is ordinarily made within the context of the division of the parties' property and assets. Under appropriate circumstances, a typical trial court may provide for temporary spousal support while a divorce case is pending, or may order support to be paid retroactive to the date the complaint for divorce was filed. A spousal support award may take into consideration the amount of marital estate, and whether one of the spouses will have to liquidate assets awarded in the divorce in order to maintain a reasonable lifestyle. Where one spouse has sufficient income to preserve his or her share of the property settlement and the other does not, spousal support may be appropriate.
Spousal support is usually awarded either in the form of periodic payments or "in gross" (in a lump sum). Periodic payments are usually described as "rehabilitative" (short-term payments to help the recipient spouse get back on his or her feet), or permanent (ordinarily lasting until death, remarriage, or further order of the court). Awards of periodic alimony are normally subject to subsequent modification by the court, whereas awards of alimony in gross ordinarily cannot be modified after judgment. |

On September 1, 1951, Australia, New Zealand, and the US signed ANZUS, a mutual defense accord similar to NATO among the North Atlantic states. The alliance between the US and New Zealand, however, was suspended in 1985, after the institution of New Zealand's nuclear-free zone prohibited US nuclear warships from entering New Zealand ports.

On August 31, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Neutrality Act of 1935, which placed an embargo on arms and war materials on all countries involved in war. The act was used in October 1935 in response to Italy's invasion of Ethiopia to bar arms sales to both countries. The act was part of the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s, which came in response to the growing conflicts in Europe and Asia. They sought to prevent the US from becoming involved in the war.
