Financial information is important
Income, employment, assets, liabilities and reasonable expenses can be relevant. Accurate disclosure and supporting records help the court assess the financial circumstances of the parties.
Interim and final relief are different questions
A proceeding may involve interim support while the case is pending and, where the applicable law permits, longer-term financial relief. The legal basis should be identified from the facts of the case.
Keep documents organised
Salary records, bank statements, tax records, expense information and prior maintenance orders may be useful depending on the matter. Only genuine and lawfully obtained documents should be relied upon.
