Spousal maintenance, also known as spousal support, plays a crucial role in providing financial stability following a divorce, especially for a spouse who might not be able to support themselves independently.
Spousal maintenance is a financial obligation imposed by the courts, requiring one spouse to contribute to the financial support of the other post-divorce. This obligation arises when there is a significant discrepancy in the earning capacities of the divorcing parties, making it difficult for the lower-earning spouse to maintain a reasonable standard of living without assistance. Our team at southgate solicitors is dedicated to navigating the complexities of spousal maintenance, ensuring that our clients receive fair and just support that reflects their needs and circumstances.
