A spouse can buyout maintenance. This buyout may be part of the property settlement that would increase the property received by the spouse seeking maintenance. Before offering a buyout of maintenance, a spouse most consider the present value of the money and the tax consequences. The value of a dollar today is probably worth more than the value of a dollar tomorrow. As a result, a buyout of maintenance will generally be less than the total value of maintenance paid over the long term.
