Working of Spousal Maintenance in Australia People might ask “what is spousal maintenance?”, the answer is quite simple: it is financial assistance given by one ex-partner to the other if they are financially unstable. Spousal maintenance in Australia can also be paid by lump sum in lieu of spousal assets to be shared, such as boats or cars. There are two types of spousal maintenance, the Family court and the Federal court deals with them. Spouse maintenance: One person gives this financial support to his or her former husband/wife. Their previous partner gives them financial assistance. De facto partner maintenance: If a couple is no longer in the de facto relationship, then one may give financial assistance to other partners. The family law Act 1975 states that a person is responsible for assisting the former de facto partner financially if he cannot meet his expenses. 👉👉 Learn more about it or Speak with us at (1800)217217 for Booking an Appointment check here: https://familylaw.aylwardgame.com.au/working-of-spousal-maintenance-in-australia/ 👉👉 Find Experienced family lawyers Near you on Google maps (https://g.page/AylwardGameSolicitors?share) anytime at Aylward Game Solicitors #SpousalMaintenance #SpousalMaintenanceAustralia #SpousalMaintenanceinAustralia #AylwardGameSolicitors
