that an ex-partner can receive after a divorce or the termination of a registered partnership. This page covers Dutch law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The amount is calculated based on the recipient&#8217;s need and the payer&#8217;s capacity to pay, in accordance with the Trema standards, which are adjusted annually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since January 1, 2020, a statutory maximum duration of five years applies; statutory exceptions apply to long-term marriages with young children or those nearing the state pension (AOW) age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spousal maintenance can be established in a divorce settlement agreement after consultation or mediation, or determined by the court if the parties cannot reach an agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the event of a substantial change in circumstances, such as loss of income or long-term cohabitation, the maintenance obligation can be adjusted through consultation or legal proceedings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In an international divorce, European regulations (Brussels II-ter and the EU Maintenance Regulation) determine which court has jurisdiction and which law applies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_spousal_maintenance\"><\/span>What is spousal maintenance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spousal maintenance is a contribution toward the living expenses of the ex-partner who cannot provide for their own income after the divorce. The law requires the other partner to contribute temporarily so that the transition to financial independence can be made gradually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spousal maintenance most often plays a role in marriages or registered partnerships where one of the partners worked less due to caregiving duties or a career break. The division of roles during the marriage is one of the factors the court or mediator considers when determining need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spousal maintenance has a different purpose than <a href=\"https:\/\/simmelink.nl\/en\/family-law\/alimony\/child-support\/\">child support<\/a>. Child support is a contribution toward the costs of care and upbringing of the child. Spousal maintenance is intended solely for the maintenance of the ex-partner themselves.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_factors_determine_the_amount_of_spousal_maintenance\"><\/span>Which factors determine the amount of spousal maintenance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of spousal maintenance is calculated based on two variables: the recipient&#8217;s need and the payer&#8217;s capacity to pay. The Trema standards, the nationally used guidelines by courts for calculating maintenance, provide the methodology for this calculation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following factors play a role in determining need and capacity to pay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Income difference between the ex-partners during and after the marriage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard of living during the marriage (the so-called marriage-related need)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earning capacity and the obligation to seek employment of the maintenance creditor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity to pay of the maintenance debtor, including fixed costs and healthcare expenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration of the marriage and the division of roles, including caregiving duties for children<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presence and age of children and the agreed-upon contact arrangements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no standard formula that always yields the same outcome. The calculation begins with the recipient&#8217;s need: what is required to maintain the same standard of living as during the marriage as much as possible. Subsequently, it is assessed whether the payer has sufficient capacity. If the capacity is lower than the need, the maintenance amount is correspondingly lower. The maintenance obligation can also be set to nil if there is no capacity to pay.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_spousal_maintenance_determined\"><\/span>How is spousal maintenance determined?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spousal maintenance can be arranged in three ways, depending on the degree of agreement between the parties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consultation or mediation. <\/strong>Parties make agreements together, potentially guided by a <a href=\"https:\/\/simmelink.nl\/familierecht\/scheiden\/mediation\/\">mediator<\/a>. The agreements are recorded in a divorce settlement agreement and ratified by the court. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lawyers in consultation. <\/strong>Each party is assisted by their own lawyer. The lawyers establish the starting points for the calculation and record the agreements in writing in a settlement agreement. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Judicial determination. <\/strong>If consultation is unsuccessful, the court can determine the amount and duration of the spousal maintenance at the request of one of the partners. A lawyer drafts the petition and guides the legal proceedings. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_the_spousal_maintenance_obligation_last\"><\/span>How long does the spousal maintenance obligation last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since January 1, 2020, the Spousal Maintenance Revision Act has been in effect, which has reduced the maximum duration from twelve to five years in most cases. There are three statutory exceptions to this main rule and a hardship clause for distressing cases: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marriage shorter than five years without children: the maintenance duration is equal to the duration of the marriage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marriage longer than fifteen years where the recipient reaches the state pension age within ten years: the term can extend until the state pension age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Care for children under the age of twelve: the maintenance obligation in principle continues until the youngest child turns twelve; in these cases, the total duration can therefore reach a maximum of twelve years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The maintenance obligation ends by operation of law upon the recipient&#8217;s remarriage or long-term cohabitation (Article 1:160 of the Dutch Civil Code), upon the expiration of the agreed or court-ordered term, or upon a court-ordered change of circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_spousal_maintenance_be_changed\"><\/span>Can spousal maintenance be changed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spousal maintenance can be modified if there is a substantial change in circumstances for one of the parties. Examples include a significant drop in income, job loss, serious illness, or the long-term cohabitation of the recipient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A request for modification is handled through consultation, mediation, or legal proceedings at the court. The court assesses whether the changed circumstances justify an adjustment and whether the new amount fits the current capacity and need. A modification request must be substantiated with current financial data, such as payslips, tax returns, and an overview of fixed costs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parties can also make agreements in the settlement agreement regarding indexation: the annual automatic adjustment of the maintenance amount to the statutory indexation percentages established annually by the Ministry of Justice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_annual_indexation_of_spousal_maintenance_work\"><\/span>How does the annual indexation of spousal maintenance work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pursuant to Article 1:402a of the Dutch Civil Code, spousal maintenance is automatically adjusted annually to the statutory indexation, unless parties explicitly exclude this in their settlement agreement. The indexation for 2026 is 4.6%, as established in the Maintenance Percentage Change Decree 2026 and announced in the Government Gazette. This means that spousal maintenance of 1,000 euros per month will automatically increase to 1,046 euros per month as of January 1, 2026.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pursuant to Article 1:402a of the Dutch Civil Code, maintenance amounts are indexed annually by operation of law, unless parties explicitly exclude this in their settlement agreement. They can also agree on a different indexation benchmark, for example, linked to collective labor agreement (CAO) wage developments. A court will in principle respect such an agreement in subsequent legal proceedings, unless the consequences are unacceptable according to standards of reasonableness and fairness (Article 1:159 paragraph 3 of the Dutch Civil Code).  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_tax_consequences_of_spousal_maintenance\"><\/span>What are the tax consequences of spousal maintenance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paid spousal maintenance is deductible in income tax under certain conditions as a personal deduction. The recipient reports the received maintenance as taxable income in Box 1. Child support is not deductible and not taxable. For higher incomes, the deduction is capped at the basic rate; in 2026, this is a maximum of 37.56%. The net cost of spousal maintenance can therefore turn out differently than the gross amount suggests.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deduction applies exclusively to payments based on a statutory maintenance obligation, recorded in a court order or in a notarial or written settlement agreement. Voluntary payments without a legal basis are not deductible. If you have questions about the tax consequences in your situation, it is advisable to consult a tax advisor in addition to legal advice.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_spousal_maintenance_is_not_paid\"><\/span>What if spousal maintenance is not paid?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the partner obligated to pay maintenance does not pay, there are two routes. Through consultation or mediation, an attempt can be made to reach a payment arrangement. If that fails, the maintenance creditor can engage the LBIO. The LBIO (National Maintenance Collection Agency) is a government agency that takes over collection upon request and uses enforcement measures if necessary, such as attachment of wages or benefits.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of a payment arrears, the court can also be requested to take additional measures. The LBIO operates on the basis of treaty relations; in a completely foreign situation, other collection routes are required. A lawyer can assess which route is most effective in your situation and whether there is reason to simultaneously file a modification request.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spousal_maintenance_in_international_divorce\"><\/span>Spousal maintenance in international divorce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a divorce with an international component, for example, if a partner lives abroad, has a different nationality, or the marriage was concluded abroad, additional regulations apply. The EU Maintenance Regulation (No. 4\/2009) and the Hague Protocol (2007) determine which court has jurisdiction and which law applies to the maintenance obligation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, the court in the country where the recipient habitually resides has jurisdiction, and the law of that country applies. This also means that litigating before a Dutch court can lead to the application of foreign maintenance law if the applicable law under the Hague Protocol refers to another legal system. For expats in the Netherlands or Dutch nationals abroad, this is analyzed in advance. Early legal advice is important because the choice of court and applicable law can have a major impact on the outcome.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about cross-border divorce cases can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/simmelink.nl\/en\/family-law\/international\/\">international family law<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_situations_in_spousal_maintenance\"><\/span>Common situations in spousal maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Consultation and formalization in a settlement agreement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In many situations, parties reach clear agreements on spousal maintenance through consultation or mediation. The agreements are recorded in the <a href=\"https:\/\/simmelink.nl\/en\/family-law\/divorce\/echtscheidingsconvenant\/\">divorce settlement agreement<\/a> and ratified by the court. This offers both parties certainty and prevents subsequent discussion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Legal proceedings at the court<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If consultation is unsuccessful, the court establishes the amount and duration via an order. The court weighs capacity to pay, need, and the recipient&#8217;s obligation to seek employment. A lawyer drafts the petition, guides the hearing, and can file an appeal if the outcome is contested.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Modification request after a significant change in circumstances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the financial situation of one of the parties changes significantly, the established maintenance may have become too high or too low. A lawyer maps out the current capacity and need and guides you, through consultation or legal proceedings, toward an appropriate adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. International maintenance obligation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When one of the partners has moved abroad or lives there, a cross-border maintenance situation arises. The applicable regulations and competent court must be determined before legal proceedings or an adjustment can be initiated. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_examples\"><\/span>Practical examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unequal income position after marriage with caregiving duties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The central legal question in this case concerned the level of marriage-related need after a long-term marriage in which one of the partners had taken on caregiving duties. Due to the career break, there was a significant income difference between the ex-partners. The calculation required a careful weighing of the lost earning capacity, current expenses, and the extent to which the receiving partner could contribute to their own income. We guided the client in substantiating the need for maintenance and assessing the other party&#8217;s capacity calculation.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification request after a significant change in circumstances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal question in this case was whether a significant drop in income as a result of business termination constituted a substantial change in circumstances justifying an adjustment of the maintenance obligation. The assessment required an analysis of the current financial position, whether the drop in income was voluntary, and whether the maintenance debtor had met their obligation to seek employment. We substantiated the modification request with current financial data and guided the consultation with the other party.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cross-border maintenance obligation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a case with international elements, the central question was which law applied to the existing maintenance obligation after one of the partners had moved to another EU country. The applicable regulation and the Hague Protocol (2007) determined the framework. We mapped out the jurisdictional question and the applicable law and determined which procedure was most appropriate for the client&#8217;s circumstances.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s-content-block\">\n<p>Would you like to know what is possible in your situation?
