Either spouse may be ordered to pay maintenance to the other. The factors to be considered are:
(1) the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition, preservation, or appreciation in value of any Property, including the contribution of each spouse as homemaker; (2) the length of the Marriage; (3) the age and health of the spouses; (4) the occupation of the spouses; (5) the amount and sources of income of the spouses; (6) the vocational skills of the spouses; (7) the employability of the spouses; (8) the liabilities and needs of each spouse and the opportunity of each for further acquisition of capital assets and income; (9) the conduct of the parties during the Marriage [if the grounds for divorce are fault-based]; (10) any health insurance coverage; and (11) the present and future needs of any children of the Marriage.
Fault is not a factor if the grounds for the divorce are irretrievable breakdown of the Marriage filed in conjunction with a separation/settlement agreement. Health insurance coverage may be ordered to be provided as part of the maintenance award. [Massachusetts General Laws Annotated; Chapter 208, Sections 1A and 34].
