Unpaid Maintenance As Financial Debt
Is unpaid maintenance during marriage considered a financial debt upon the husband?
Unpaid maintenance from during the marriage is not a financial debt the husband owes the wife unless there is a judgment from a legal authority to that effect or if the couple had mutually agreed during marriage to postpone maintenance to some later date; if there is neither judgment nor agreement, the husband will still be rewarded for paying the wife unpaid maintenance payments from the past.
