22.01.2022 In family law, we are often confronted with difficult situations following the breakdown of a relationship. A common scenario is where two people live together in a relationship, one party is the primary breadwinner and the other party stays at home to care for the children. Not unusual and by no means the only scenario, but this example gives rise to the consideration of spousal maintenance.
