Is there a limit on the time to apply for maintenance?
You are eligible to apply for maintenance at any time after you have separated from your partner. If you were married you must make any application for spousal maintenance within 12 months of your divorce being finalised; de facto partners have two years from the breakdown of their relationship to apply.
