Post-marital alimony

Post-marital maintenance comes into effect after the divorce. The reason: Spousal maintenance is the core problem in most difficult divorces, because the partner who is entitled to maintenance would like to have more.

The partner who is responsible for maintenance, on the other hand, tries to make his lawyer count him poor in order to keep the maintenance payments as low as possible. Usually it is about the maintenance of the wife. Wives are still worse off in the course of a divorce.

The classic is the founding of a family and the predominant withdrawal of the mother from working life. If the children are older at the time of the divorce, a full-time job can be done. The fact is, however, that the connection to the working world is becoming more difficult due to the speed of further development.

Of course, that also depends on the type of job. Anyone who had not had anything to do with the new accounting system before becoming pregnant will have to face this challenge when they return to work. Many mothers fail, especially when they leave work for a long time. What remains is a poorly paid job. After the divorce from the possibly very well-earning husband, the money is often only enough to live on thanks to the divorce maintenance.
