Spousal maintenance involves the provision of financial support, whether as a lump sum or by way of periodic or non-periodic payments, by one party to another following separation.

This requires an assessment of the financial circumstances of each party to the relationship to ascertain if there is a basis for the payment of maintenance.

 

As with the adjustment of property interests, spousal maintenance can be formalised by way of Court Orders or in a Financial Agreement.
