In some circumstances, financial support between former partners may continue after separation. Spousal maintenance may arise where one person cannot adequately support themselves and the other has the financial capacity to provide assistance.
At Alta Legal, we advise clients on when spousal maintenance may apply and how it interacts with property settlement and broader financial arrangements.
These matters often depend on a range of factors, including income, earning capacity, health, age and caring responsibilities. In some situations, interim financial support may also be required while property matters are being resolved.
We assist clients in understanding whether maintenance may be relevant in their circumstances and in addressing these issues through negotiation, agreement or court proceedings where necessary.
