I get maintenance from my husband. He has finished working for a company after many years of service. I know I am entitled to some of the compensation he is due to get. Will it affect the maintenance I receive now ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 12 May, 2022No. Maintenance is unaffected by a wife’s right to half of the compensation her husband is due to receive for the period they lived together as a married couple. This is in contrast with monthly pension payments which clash with monthly maintenance payments. Here a wife must choose which of the two she wants to receive.
