Spousal Maintenance, Scotland

Spousal maintenance, also called spousal support or aliment, is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after separation or divorce to help meet their reasonable needs if they cannot support themselves without financial assistance. Our family law solicitors can advise you on whether you're entitled to claim maintenance and assist in negotiating or applying for an appropriate amount.

In Scotland, you may be entitled to spousal maintenance if you cannot support yourself financially and your spouse has the means to pay, though entitlement depends on factors like income disparity, length of marriage, and caring responsibilities. Our solicitors can assess your circumstances and pursue a fair maintenance arrangement on your behalf.
