Navigating the Spousal Support Negotiation Process Effective communication is the cornerstone of any negotiation. Both spouses should openly discuss their financial situations, concerns, and expectations. Additionally, attempts to hide assets or other financial factors will end up working against you in court.
In Arizona, alimony is considered reasonable if it is less than 50% of the paying spouse's income pre-divorce. Most reasonable spousal maintenance payments fall between 15% and 30% of the paying spouse's pre-divorce income to enable the receiving spouse to meet their own needs.
Arizona judges often look at your personal assets and the property you receive from division settlements in depth before determining whether you qualify for continuous spousal support. If your inheritance sum can keep you afloat financially for a long period, it may prevent you from receiving support from your spouse.
