Explanation:

- The phrase in question refers to the money paid to a former spouse after a marriage ends.

- Option 1: Alimony - This is the correct term. Alimony is financial support provided to a spouse post-divorce, often to maintain their living standard.

- Option 2: Compensation - This generally refers to payment given as a recompense for loss or injury, not specifically related to divorce.

- Option 3: Recompense - Similar to compensation, it's payment for loss, service, or ordeal rather than specifically for ex-spouses.

- Option 4: Maintenance - This can also be used to refer to spousal support, but in legal terms, "alimony" is more precise when referring to the money paid post-divorce.
