Re: maintenance
No but many courts look to the length of the marriage and the needs of the disabled spouse, and the ability to pay of the providing spouse. In your case that could easily equal 33-50 percent of your disposable income.
For further information, contact a Matrimonial lawyer in your area. You would be well served to have a lawyer to protect your interests.
Good Luck.
