NEW YORK Part 70

Maintenance is defined as the periodic payment of money from one spouse or former spouse to the other spouse pursuant to a court order or written agreement. All of these elements must be met. It excludes what is called “payment in kind” which is goods or services. The payments must be between spouses or former spouses: any other relationship will not qualify. And last, there must be a court order or written agreement for the payments to qualify – voluntary payments of cash between a spouse or former spouse will not suffice.
