Arizona SB1049 amends spousal maintenance laws to disregard marital misconduct and establish guidelines for awarding maintenance.
Arizona SB1049 revises spousal maintenance laws by removing marital misconduct as a consideration. It mandates the Supreme Court to create guidelines for awarding maintenance, considering factors like the duration of the marriage, earning abilities, and the ability to meet reasonable needs. The court retains jurisdiction over maintenance unless both parties agree otherwise. The bill also outlines specific reasons for granting maintenance, such as inability to provide for one's own needs or significant contributions to the other spouse's career.
