If you have separated or divorced from a spouse or partner who was financially supporting you during your relationship, then you may be entitled to apply to have that financial support continue after separation by way of spousal maintenance.

What is Spousal Maintenance?

Spousal Maintenance refers to payments made by one spouse or partner to their former spouse or partner where that person is unable to adequately provide for themselves.

The payments can be made periodically or as a lump sum payment, depending upon which method suits the parties involved.

How can I arrange to be paid Spousal Maintenance by my former partner?

If you are able to come to a private arrangement with your former spouse or partner regarding maintenance payments, then you are able to include terms to that effect in financial consent orders along with your other property settlement arrangements. The orders are then approved by the Family Court and become binding.
If you are not able to come to an agreement regarding the payment of spousal maintenance, then you may be able to apply to the Family Court for orders granting you payment.
