Re: Spousal Maintenance
Hello. Generally the amount for spousal main-
tenance is set via the Court's own discretion. A
form affidavit, pursuant to the rules of the Illinois Supreme Court, requires each party to
lists income, expenses and liabilities. This
helps the Court to determine the amount of spousal maintenance. However, this is a very
complicated topic and the length of the marriage
is definitely a factor. I hope my answer has
been helpful. I will be happy to answer any
additional questions that you might have.
