In many divorces spouses require and are entitled to support, which, in New York, is called maintenance. Courts have wide discretion in setting maintenance. Determining a client’s right to, or obligation to pay, maintenance, as well as its duration and amount, often involves many considerations, such as the parties' incomes (and uncovering hidden income), their assets, tax consequences, lifestyle analysis, property division and vocational capacities. Whether our client is a stay-at-home parent or a highly compensated executive, our accomplished attorneys analyze all relevant factors to advocate powerfully for an optimal maintenance outcome.
