Possibly. Spousal maintenance is technically available to either spouse. Spousal maintenance is not mandatory but rather discretionary by the court — meaning the judge has wide authority to determine whether or not maintenance is right in your case, the amount awarded, and the length of the award. The judge will often consider certain factors set forth in statutes (laws enacted by the state), which include things like financial resources, length of marriage, standard of living, and the age and health of both parties.
