aintenance is an important aspect of family law in Ireland, particularly in cases where one spouse or parent is financially dependent on the other. Maintenance, also known as alimony or spousal/child support, is a payment made by one party to another to help support them financially.

At Solicitors Dublin, we understand the importance of maintenance in family law cases and we have a team of experienced family law solicitors who can provide legal assistance and support to those who are seeking or contesting maintenance payments.

When it comes to maintenance in family law, there are two main types of payments:

  1. Spousal Maintenance: This is a payment made by one spouse to another in the event of a divorce or separation. The payment is intended to help the financially dependent spouse maintain their standard of living after the separation or divorce. Spousal maintenance can be paid on a regular basis or as a lump sum.
  2. Child Maintenance: This is a payment made by one parent to another for the financial support of their child or children. Child maintenance is paid on a regular basis and is intended to cover the child’s basic needs such as food, clothing, and education.
