Maintenance for spouse
Legal Advice on spousal maintenance
A preliminary consultation is desirable for those who are undecided about divorce. It is the best and most economical way to know your rights about maintenance and explore possible solutions.
This may cost you about $3000 for about 1 hour of deep consultation.
Avoid loss of financial support
You would especially need legal help if you do not have income or are in a weak income position. Divorce without the continuing financial support may end you a desperate living.
Temporary order on maintenance
It is possible that you might need a temporary order on maintenance to support your living before the final order on divorce. Court encourages settlement but in case your spouse refuses to pay, you would need a court order of so-called interim maintenance.
