Bill overview
This bill modifies Arizona’s laws regarding spousal maintenance (alimony) in divorce or separation proceedings. It outlines the reasons a court can order maintenance, including lack of sufficient property or earning ability, significant contributions to a spouse’s education, or a long marriage. The bill establishes guidelines for calculating maintenance amounts and durations, with a maximum of four years, and emphasizes factors like the standard of living during the marriage, the length of the marriage, and each spouse’s financial resources. It also clarifies that maintenance orders are not affected by marital misconduct and allows for agreements to prevent modification of maintenance terms.
