Current law authorizes the court to grant a maintenance order to a spouse in certain proceedings.
This bill grants the court the authority to set an end date for any maintenance order granted, and provides that maintenance orders end upon the payer reaching full retirement age unless otherwise agreed to by both parties. The payer is required to provide the payee reasonable notice in advance of retirement, and the bill provides that six months' notice will be presumed to be reasonable.
