Spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, is the award of payments from one spouse to the other as part of a divorce proceeding. There are several different factors that must be considered in determining whether or not there will be spousal maintenance, including, but not limited to, the monthly income and reasonable expenses of each party, the length of the marriage, and the lifestyle of the parties during the marriage. Spousal maintenance can be one of the most contested issues in a divorce. At Lewis Kannegieter & Wright, LLC our attorneys have experience handling complex spousal maintenance cases.
