Spousal maintenance is a lump sum or ongoing payment that may be awarded as part of a divorce in order to support the spouse with a lower earning capacity. In Illinois, courts weigh several factors, including the income and the needs of each party to determine whether spousal maintenance is appropriate. If spousal maintenance is appropriate, courts generally apply statutory guidelines to determine the amount of spousal maintenance when the combined income of the parties is less than $500,000.00 per year. If the combined income is above this amount, courts are free to deviate from the guidelines.
