In some cases, temporary maintenance may become permanent maintenance, but in the majority of divorces, maintenance after a divorce will be set for a particular duration.
In very long marriages, those where one spouse has significant health problems, and similar situations, the divorce judge may order permanent maintenance.
For younger couples with considerable earning power ahead of them, courts will rarely be persuaded to create a permanent order for spousal maintenance.
That said, the temporary maintenance schedule that’s applied during the divorce may become the basic payment structure of the final maintenance order, but a lot of things can change during the divorce itself.
Your full financial picture may not be clear at the outset, and your needs may change based on the ultimate disposition of assets and debts.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help make sure that you have all the resources you need during and after your divorce in Rochester.
