Going through a divorce can be an emotionally charged and challenging time for anyone. In addition to the many legal aspects involved, one significant consideration is spousal maintenance. If you are going through a divorce, getting clued up on spousal maintenance and how you might apply for it is a good idea.

 

Spousal maintenance refers to the financial support provided by one spouse to the other after the dissolution of a marriage. There are three main types of spousal maintenance: temporary, rehabilitative, and permanent. The granting of spousal maintenance is subject to Section 7 of the Divorce Act, 70 of 1979.
