In 2023, spousal maintenance is still ordered in many Arizona divorces. Defined simply, alimony is mandated by the Court when the spouse with a higher income is required to provide a monthly payment to the spouse with less income.

You can think of it as an “allowance” from the spouse with a better job to the spouse with a lesser job; further, spousal maintenance is sometimes ordered when both spouses have full-time jobs.
