Temporary maintenance, which goes into effect while the divorce proceedings are pending, may be awarded according to an income-based formula for lower income couples but may be subject to equitable principles for higher income couples.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Permanent maintenance may be determined according to a formulaic approach as well when the Colorado maintenance statutes currently in effect. However, judicial discretion may still be exercised in determining &#8220;fairness&#8221; by consideration of case specific factors, including:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The duration of the marriage<\/li>\n\n<li>The standard of living during the marriage<\/li>\n\n<li>The age and health of both parties<\/li>\n\n<li>The spouses&#8217; education, employment prospects and earning capacities<\/li>\n\n<li>The financial circumstances of both spouses<\/li>\n\n<li>The outcome of property division<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our attorneys are skilled litigators and negotiators who are well-versed in navigating the disputes and issues that often arise in maintenance determinations, particularly those involving high-income spouses or business owners.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Our Lakewood Spousal Support Attorneys<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For experienced legal guidance in maintenance or divorce matters, please\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pfmlaw.com\/stage\/Contact\"><em>contact<\/em><\/a> Beattie, Westmont &amp; Simpson, LLC at 303-936-3300.
