1. 什么是“足够的财产”?”

尽管法律没有明确定义“足够的财产”,，它被理解为有足够的收入来提供个人的必需品, or sufficient property which would provide a sufficient form of income if converted into a suitable form or sold to provide a form of income. Spousal maintenance is sometimes not ordered when each spouse receives a large enough amount of community assets to provide for their financial needs.

2. Unemployment, child who prevents spouse from working, or lack of adequate earning ability

法官将考虑当前的劳动力市场, 以及配偶的技能和经验, with special consideration given to older spouses whose main job was working as a homemaker and mothers who stayed at home during long marriages, as both age and too many years out of the job market increase the difficulty of finding work to support a comparable lifestyle to that which was enjoyed during the marriage. 除了, the custodian of a disabled or very young child may be exempt from the requirement to seek immediate employment due to the special needs of the child. Financial affidavits are usually required to prove reasonable expenses to help determine self-sufficiency based on individual incomes.

3. 对另一方有重大的经济或其他贡献

根据最新的法律, 于2018年8月生效, 亚利桑那州立法机构已经进一步明确了这一考虑的意图. 以前, this factor was limited to specific contributions made to the other spouse’s educational opportunities only. The revision includes other ways in which a spouse can contribute to their spouse’s abilities to pay spousal maintenance, 比如培训, 职业技能, 另一方的职业或赚钱能力.

4. 年龄和/或长期婚姻

这个决定配偶赡养费的因素是非常主观的, 就像一位法官可能认为的“长期”婚姻一样，另一位法官可能不这么认为. 没有固定的规则, 但一般来说，7年以下的婚姻被认为是短期的, 持续7年至20年的婚姻被认为是中等婚姻, 20年或更长时间被认为是长期婚姻. Age is factored in when the duration of the marriage is long enough that the person seeking spousal support may not be able to obtain employment sufficient to meet their reasonable expenses.

5. 为了另一方的利益，大大减少了收入或工作机会

This consideration was added with the 2018 update and takes into account any sacrifices made that resulted in significantly reduced income or career opportunities for the spouse seeking spousal maintenance.

如果任何一方都没有要求配偶赡养费, 然后是将来获得配偶抚养费的权利, 对双方来说, 永远失去了.
