First, it is important to obtain no-fault divorce or both spouses’ fault divorce - then alimony will be due only in the event of scarcity, so significantly it reduces the likelihood of spousal maintenance. Secondly, it must be proved before the divorce court that ex-spouse is able to independently satisfy his/her needs at the current standard. The maintenance obligation ceases when the entitled spouse does not use his/her capacity for work through his/her own fault and is therefore in a scarcity. Thirdly, you need to present your financial situation – primarily your monthly maintenance costs and prove that the financial status of your ex-spouse has not deteriorated as a result of divorce. Professional divorce and family lawyer will help you to prepare for divorce with fault indication, go through the divorce process and to get maintenance amount favorable for you.
