The Purpose of Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance exists so as to allow each spouse to continue enjoying the same standard of living they had during the marriage. Or, if that is no longer possible, to allow for any burdens that arise because of the divorce to be more equitably shared.
Contributions to a marriage are wide-ranging and some of those contributions are exceptionally valuable without necessarily producing income. The raising of children is a prime example. Caring for elderly parents is another. A spouse may have put a career on hold for the sake of the marriage, while the other spouse saw their income advance. The state of Indiana believes all contributions to the marriage are important, and that the final divorce settlement ought to reflect that. Spousal maintenance is a vehicle for fairness.

Three Types of Maintenance in Indiana
Every situation is different and spousal support can come in three different forms:
- Incapacitation maintenance: This applies when one spouse may have suffered a physical or mental disability that will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for their career to ever ramp up to the point where they could achieve the marital standard of living on their own.
- Rehabilitative maintenance: This type of plan can work when one spouse simply needs some assistance in getting their income-generating capacity rejuvenated. Perhaps a spouse that took time off from an established career. Or maybe some training and education is necessary. Rehabilitative maintenance can consider this and set a reasonable timeframe for this type of spousal support to continue.
- Indefinite maintenance: Spousal support may need to continue for an extended, undefined period—perhaps permanently—if a spouse is simply unable to get their income up to a sufficient level. Besides incapacitation, this might happen in a divorce where children are grown, and one spouse spent literally decades as a stay-at-home parent.
The unique factors that exist in every single marriage mean that clients have to rely on their attorney to be alert to all the possibilities that can and should impact the final spousal maintenance agreement.
