Spousal maintenance may be available if you are an ex-spouse or ex-de facto partner unable to meet expenses from your own income or assets following your divorce or separation. Typically, spousal maintenance claims are considered if you are caring for a child or children under the age of 18 and from that relationship. Or if you are unable to support yourself adequately and need some assistance to re-train, upskill or re-enter the workforce.
Melbourne Spousal Maintenance Lawyers
Hughes Lawyers are experts in family law, specialising in all areas from separation and divorce to securing spousal maintenance. In our experience, spousal maintenance is rarely offered by the other party, which means it will typically require an application to the Court. You will need expert lawyers in spousal maintenance applications to help you determine your rights.
Spousal maintenance applications are also time-sensitive. You have only 12 months to apply after your divorce is finalised or 2 years after the breakdown of a de facto relationship. Timely advice and a thorough application process are essential.
