Maintenance: What It Is and How It Relates to Debt Counselling

Maintenance is financial support that one person owes another by law, usually through a court order. It is often associated with parental child support, but also applies to spousal obligations following divorce.

The Obligation of Maintenance

Maintenance is a legal obligation, not merely a moral one. Non-compliance carries serious legal consequences, but many people struggle to meet these payments alongside other financial obligations – especially when debt is already a problem.

Debt Problems and Maintenance

When maintenance payments fall behind, the consequences escalate quickly. Arrears contribute to larger debt problems, which can damage your credit record. AfriSkuld offers debt relief and consolidation services to help restructure payments and create manageable repayment plans.

The Role of Debt Counselling

Debt counselling involves negotiating with creditors to restructure payment arrangements, potentially reducing monthly obligations. This creates financial breathing room to meet maintenance payments while maintaining overall quality of life.

• Consolidate multiple debts into one monthly payment.
