[[Image here]] Because rehabilitative alimony is premised upon the assumption that the receiving spouse is capable of self-support, in those cases where there is no such capacity, there is nothing to which the receiving spouse can be rehabilitated, and therefore an award of rehabilitative alimony would be inappropriate.””
