Spousal Maintenance legal services

There are significant financial consequences of marriage breakdown, and consideration should be given to how things such as the mortgage, rent and bills will be paid following separation and while final property settlement is being resolved. For those people who do not have sufficient income to meet their own needs, and who perhaps have not been the primary breadwinner in a marriage, spousal maintenance payments may be critical and essential for daily living.

If and when usual financial support from a former husband or wife is inappropriately cut off following a marriage breakdown or divorce, it is important to act quickly to rectify the situation without there being financial disasters and without undue financial suffering.

When seeking advice about financial issues following marriage breakdown, please speak to one of our Accredited Specialists at Watts McCray as to your eligibility, or liability, for partner maintenance and how it might assist you in your situation.
