An Alimony Agreement is essential in Nigerian divorce proceedings where ongoing financial support is required between former spouses. This document is used when parties need to formalize maintenance arrangements, whether as part of a divorce settlement or as a standalone agreement. It must comply with the Matrimonial Causes Act and other relevant Nigerian legislation, considering both statutory and customary law where applicable. The agreement typically includes detailed payment schedules, modification provisions, and enforcement mechanisms. It's particularly important in cases where there is significant income disparity between spouses or where one spouse requires financial support to maintain their standard of living post-divorce. The document can be either court-approved or privately executed, though court approval provides additional enforcement options.
