Spousal maintenance is an award of ongoing monetary support from one spouse to another in a marital dissolution or legal separation. There are several factors that go into the determination of spousal maintenance, including the length of the marriage, the marital standard of living, and the work history of both spouses.
Spousal maintenance can be one of the most difficult issues to resolve because the courts have so much discretion over whether or not to award spousal maintenance, how much to award, and for how long. At Binder Law Offices, we guide our clients through this difficult process and take care of the heavy lifting.
