Myth #2: I can get a ‘meal ticket for life’
Myth #2: I can get a ‘meal ticket for life’ Maintenance has always been a hot topic of conversation. Whilst it remains possible for a spouse to secure a maintenance order for life, this is incredibly rare. A court cannot force a party to find a job, but judges are keen to see parties move towards financial independence as soon as possible. If they can establish a ‘clean break’ between the parties, this will always be the preference. The only way of establishing whether a maintenance order for one party is required is through a thorough examination of the claiming spouse’s income needs, as well as the resources of the paying spouse.
