Unlike financial child support the court retains the power to adjudicate on whether a Spousal Maintenance Order should or should not be made as well as the level and duration of any Order, whether to cover the short term or long term income needs of an ex-spouse. A reasonable disparity of income and earning potential is a key factor in these type of Orders which are periodical in nature and are therefore capable of upward or downward variation.
