(a) In an action under this chapter, the court may order either spouse to make maintenance
payments, either rehabilitative or long term in nature, to the other spouse if it
finds that the spouse seeking maintenance:
(1) lacks sufficient income or property, or both, including property apportioned in accordance
with section 751 of this title, to provide for his or her reasonable needs; and
(2) is unable to support himself or herself through appropriate employment at the standard
of living established during the civil marriage or is the custodian of a child of
the parties.
(b) The maintenance order shall be in such amounts and for such periods of time as the
court deems just, after considering all relevant factors, including:
(1) the financial resources of the party seeking maintenance, the property apportioned
to the party, the party’s ability to meet his or her needs independently, and the
extent to which a provision for support of a child living with the party contains
a sum for that party as custodian;
(2) the time and expense necessary to acquire sufficient education or training to enable
the party seeking maintenance to find appropriate employment;
(3) the standard of living established during the civil marriage;
(4) the duration of the civil marriage;
(5) the age and the physical and emotional condition of each spouse;
(6) the ability of the spouse from whom maintenance is sought to meet his or her reasonable
needs while meeting those of the spouse seeking maintenance;
(7) inflation with relation to the cost of living;
(8) the impact of both parties reaching the age of eligibility to receive full retirement
benefits under Title II of the federal Social Security Act or the parties’ actual
retirement, including any expected discrepancies in federal Social Security Retirement
benefits; and
