Spousal Maintenance is a vital component in our Family Law System in Australia, it is a concept which is often misunderstood and overlooked. Spousal maintenance plays a significant role ensuring families are financially stable during and after the separation. 

Spousal maintenance refers to financial support. One spouse or partner may be required to provide for the other after the separation or divorce. The support is often necessary when one spouse has a significantly lower income, or earning capacity than the other and is unable to support themselves adequately. 

Throughout the Podcast Dannielle Young will go through some of the factors to be considered when determining the need for spousal maintenance:

• Financial resources including Property and Superannuation of both parties

• The age and health of each of the Spouses

• The ability to earn income

• The responsibilities in supporting children

• Standard of living

• Further prospects for Financial gain in the future
