Spousal maintenance (alimony) in Arizona is governed by A.R.S. § 25-319. A court may award maintenance if one spouse lacks sufficient property for reasonable needs or cannot be self-sufficient. Factors include the standard of living during marriage, duration of marriage, and each spouse's earning capacity. Unlike child support, spousal maintenance is not based on a set formula — a Downtown Mesa divorce attorney is essential to negotiate a fair outcome.
