Spousal Maintenance

Spousal maintenance refers to the financial support one spouse might be required to provide to the other following a separation or divorce. This is especially applicable when one party cannot adequately support themselves due to various reasons such as caring for children, age, health, or lack of earning capacity. At Ko Lawyers, we can help assess eligibility for spousal maintenance, negotiate and calculate appropriate payment amounts, and draft detailed agreements. If disputes arise, we can represent clients in court. In addition, we can assist in enforcing maintenance orders and modifying them if there's a significant change in circumstances.

Child Maintenance

Child maintenance is a financial commitment that non-custodial parents are required to contribute towards the upbringing and welfare of their children after a separation or divorce. It covers expenses like education, healthcare, and everyday living costs. At Ko Lawyers, we can help determine appropriate child maintenance amounts based on the child's needs and the paying parent's ability to contribute. We can also assist in drafting maintenance agreements, and if necessary, represent our clients in court to ensure a fair arrangement. Furthermore, we can assist in enforcing maintenance orders if payments are not made, or in modifying them if there's a substantial change in circumstances.
