Maintenance - If I waive it, can I ask for it later?

No, if you waive maintenance in your Marital Settlement Agreement and the Agreement is approved by the Court, you are forever barred from asking a Court to order your ex-spouse to pay you maintenance. Your waiver is irrevocable. Even if your ex-spouse wins the lottery, or you lose your job, you cannot ask the Court to order your ex-spouse to pay you maintenance after you waive it.
