MISSOURI Part 26

Generally speaking, an older spouse who hasn't worked in a long time is a better candidate for maintenance than a younger spouse or one with good earning prospects. Some spouses are awarded maintenance only until they can complete job training, or until a young child is old enough to require less care. Even a permanent maintenance order ends with the remarriage or death of the payee. But as long as a maintenance order is modifiable, it can be modified or ended to reflect changes in either person's financial circumstances.
