A major issue that can influence an award of maintenance is the property to be maintained or divided between the spouses. If the party seeking maintenance has been a stay at house parent, but desires have substantial assets after divorce or has separate assets, like a trust fund, the courts outlook towards the award of maintenance request be affected. The judge will definitely consider a request for maintenance under these conditions more adversely than a request made by a spouse who is getting no assets in the divorce or who does not have any separate property.

The health of the party seeking maintenance is an important factor that can impact a judges decision in deciding spousal support. If the spouse asking for maintenance has a enervating physical condition that affects whether or how much they can work, the court will not want to impoverish that party after divorce and the court will be more likely to use maintenance to address at least basic living needs.
