Spousal Maintenance

If you have recently separated and are struggling to financially support yourself, you may be able to negotiate, or make a claim for, spousal maintenance from your former spouse or partner.

An Applicant must establish that they are unable to support themselves adequately, and that the Respondent has a capacity to pay spousal maintenance.

If you have recently separated and want to make a claim for spousal maintenance, you can reach out to the Family Law Team at DSA Law on (03) 8595 9580.
