The Court also considers the parties age, state of health of each of the parties, income, property and financial resources of each of the parties, commitments of each of the parties towards themselves and the children, eligibility to pension, allowance, the effect of spousal maintenance orders on the parties, the duration of marriage when considering an application for spousal maintenance (Section75(2) of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)).
Spousal Maintenance orders made by a Court can cease if the following apply according to Section 82 of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth):
It must be noted that in circumstances where the party having benefit to the maintenance order enters into a de-facto relationship but does not marry, an application to the court may be made for the Court to discharge the order.
Spousal maintenance may be ordered by the Court as a lump sum payment or regular payments or both depending on the situation and the circumstances of the parties. The Court may also consider urgent spousal maintenance applications as a stop-gap until a further hearing of the matter or further evidence for the Court to consider where there is a pressing need for urgent financial assistance. Interim spousal maintenance on the other hand may be ordered until a fixed time period or pending further order until the Court determines the matter on a final basis.
