Spousal Maintenance

Judges will determine how much one spouse should pay the other based on the standard of living during the marriage. So if your husband makes a million dollars a year, then you are going to get a lot of maintenance, but if you and your husband make the same amount of money then the judge is not going to order maintenance. There is a formula in New York State to determine maintenance.

So it is important that you have a lawyer to guide you through the process that knows that judges and what the judges are going to rule in your case.
