Yes, so-called durational spousal maintenance can be ordered so that you’ll have the resources to complete a degree and find work in your chosen field.
Five year awards are very common, and it’s typically very easy to demonstrate to the court that maintenance used in this manner will result in your ability to thrive, economically and otherwise, after the divorce.
Judges have a strong interest in ensuring that the lower-earning spouse in a divorce has the tools and resources to continue on indepently.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer win strong spousal maintenance awards for our clients every day, so they can follow their dreams after a marriage ends.
