Knowledgeable Management Of Your Case Under The Law

Legal provisions for spousal maintenance have changed considerably over the last few years. Currently, all divorcing couples with a combined income of fewer than $500,000 may be subject to the state formula for spousal support.

Currently, Illinois courts are tasked with determining whether the payment of maintenance to one spouse is appropriate based on numerous factors enumerated in Illinois statutes, including, but not limited to, duration of the marriage, experience in the workforce, standard of living during the marriage and whether one party agreed to forgo work experience to care for the children and/or the household. If the court determines that maintenance is appropriate, the court will follow statutory guidelines as to how much maintenance is to be paid and for what duration. Maintenance for an indefinite period is usually for marriages lasting 20 or more years.
