A major issue that can affect an award of maintenance is the property to be maintained or divided between the spouses. If the spouse requesting maintenance has been a stay at house parent, but wishes have substantial assets after divorce or has separate assets, like a trust fund, the judges attitude towards the award of maintenance request be influenced. The court will certainly consider a request for maintenance under such circumstances more adversely than a request made by a party who is getting no assets in the divorce or who does not have any separate property.

The health of the party seeking maintenance is an important factor that can influence a courts decision in determining alimony. If the party requesting maintenance has a enervating physical condition that affects whether or how much they can work, the judge will not want to impoverish that spouse after divorce and the judge will be more likely to use maintenance to address at least basic living needs.
