Arizona spousal maintenance works in two stages, and this tool walks through both. First, a spouse must qualify under one of the eligibility grounds in A.R.S. §25-319(A) — for example, lacking sufficient property or earning ability to be self-sufficient, having contributed to the other spouse's education or career, or a long marriage at an age that limits employment. If no ground applies, there is no maintenance.
If a spouse is eligible, the 2025 Arizona Spousal Maintenance Guidelines set a suggested amount from both spouses' incomes and the family size, and a duration range from the length of the marriage and the recipient's age — including the "Rule of 65." Our amount reproduces the official Arizona calculator to the dollar; the duration range cannot be deviated from, though the amount can.
A spouse must meet at least one A.R.S. §25-319(A) ground — such as lacking property or earning ability to meet reasonable needs, being the custodian of a young child, contributing to the other spouse's career, or a long marriage at an age that limits employment. Our tool screens each ground.
The 2025 Guidelines set a duration range based on the length of the marriage; the Rule of 65 (age plus years married of 65 or more) can extend it. The duration range is binding — a court cannot deviate from it, though it can adjust the amount.
The 2025 Guidelines calculate a suggested amount from both spouses' incomes and family size. Our calculator reproduces the official Arizona figure to the dollar; enter both incomes and family size to see the range and midpoint.
The 2025 amount formula uses both spouses' gross monthly incomes and the family size. Enter each spouse's gross income and the tool handles the rest.
Yes — spouses can agree on the amount and duration in a settlement, and the guidelines are a benchmark to negotiate against. Bring the prep worksheet to your attorney or mediator.
