Including Maintenance Provisions

List the payment amount, frequency, duration, and triggering events for modification or termination. Reference the statutory formulas to show the agreement is fair.

Waiving Maintenance

If both parties waive support, include language confirming they understand the right they are giving up and that the waiver is voluntary.

Tax Considerations

For divorces finalized after 2018, spousal support is neither deductible nor taxable. Factor this into negotiations so cash flow remains balanced.
