Spousal Maintenance

As a result of having been in a relationship it is possible that one party may be obligated to financially support their former partner; this is referred to in family law matters as an obligation to pay spousal maintenance.

Spousal maintenance is a distinct legal concept and is not related to child support or child maintenance.
