Arizona does allow spousal maintenance in divorce cases, depending on the law and guidelines. Spousal maintenance and alimony are the same. The parties can reach an agreement on whether to have a spousal maintenance award to one party as well as the amount, duration, and whether it is modifiable. If the Judge is deciding, A.R.S. 25-319 and the Spousal Maintenance Guidelines and Worksheet are applied. Factors to consider include the incomes of the parties, length of the marriage, assets and resources being divided, ages of the parties, and other factors.
