Spousal support/maintenance is money paid by one spouse to the other either during the divorce process and/or after it is complete. In New York there continues to remain a duty to support one’s spouse. Temporary and durational/permanent maintenance are often handled as a component of a divorce proceeding. If you believe that you are a candidate for spousal support, you have an order for spousal support or maintenance and one party is not in compliance, or you can no longer afford your support obligations, please contact Van Horn & Friedman, P.C. for a consultation to explore your options and remedies.
