Is spouse maintenance different to child maintence?

The ex-Husband will pay child support but she is also claiming spouse maintence. How is that possible?. The marriage only lasted 15 months and she on a probationary visa. Never the less the ex-Husband has not any assets but just a job which he might quit. But how can she claim spouse maintence for rest of her life and child maintence same time. Or does child maintence come under spouse maintence? (U.K).Is spouse maintenance different to child maintence?
The rest of her life..lol That's a good one. If and I say if she was able to collect alimony, the courts base it off time in marriage or until she would re-marry.Is spouse maintenance different to child maintence?
Child support and spousal maintenance are two different things. It's highly unlikely that after a 15 month marriage the wife would be awarded maintenance.
I can't speak for the UK, but in the US, spouse maintenance (what we call spousal support) is limited by the duration of the marriage. For instance, in Pennsylvania where I live maximum spousal support would be one year for every three years of marriage. They ammount paid is based on the incomes of both spouses.
They are 2 different things. And she won't get spouse support for the rest of her life, only for a few months until she is on her feet.


And she won't get any unless he has been providing her full support for the entire marriage at a very high level.
We already told you the answer 10 minutes ago? The UK law now states that she Only needs to be married for at least 2 months to enable her to stay in uk. Spouse maintenance will be decided in court ad child maintenance in court or at CSA ad court is better than CSA, depending on your wage, if you are earring in excess of 拢20,000 per year you will be ordered by the court to pay about 拢500 per month in alimont, that is for wife and child, see the government website for info about visa. If you quit your job you dont qualify for benefits for 6 months, if you get fired from a job you dont qualify for 3 months but its your choice.
