Interesting case about the modification of spousal maintenance

Below is a link to a recent Appellate Court decision from Arizona. It discusses the factors that the court considers during the modification of spousal maintenance. In this situation, the parties executed a property settlement agreement separately from their decree of dissolution. As a result, a modification of spousal maintenance was treated as a contract issue, rather than an issue arising from a divorce decree that would require a showing of “changed circumstances that are substantial and continuing.”
