Navigating Spousal Maintenance in an Era of Rising Inflation
In recent years the costs of living has increased exponentially due to inflation, impacting many parts of everyday life, including spousal maintenance. As essential goods and services become more expensive, a fixed maintenance amount that was once ordered or agreed upon, may no longer be adequate to meet the recipient’s needs.
In this article, our Lawyer, Shannon Jenkin, outlines what spousal maintenance is and how inflation continues to affect the financial responsibilities arising following divorce or separation.
