What is Spouse Maintenance?
Spousal maintenance is the legal responsibility placed on both partners to help support each other financially, even after separation or divorce is final. This means that, in some cases, one spouse may need to pay the other to help cover living costs.
The amount of support ordered depends on two main things:
- Whether the spouse asking for support can reasonably meet their own financial needs
- Whether the other spouse can provide financial help
A Spousal Maintenance Attorney can guide you through this process and help you understand your rights and responsibilities under the law.
Spouse Maintenance and the Family Law

Things to know
Many Spousal Support Attorneys suggest that both parties should try to agree on financial matters without going to court if possible.
These steps are generally compulsory unless there are serious situations like child abuse or family violence.
