Maintenance
Maintenance refers to the financial support provided by one party to the other following the end of a relationship. It aims to ensure that both parties can maintain a standard of living similar to that enjoyed during the relationship.
Determining Maintenance
The legal framework surrounding maintenance in Ireland is primarily governed by the Family Law Acts, which consider several factors when determining the amount and duration of maintenance payments. These factors include the financial needs and earning capacity of each party, the length of the relationship, the welfare of any dependent children, and any other relevant circumstances that may affect the parties’ financial positions.
