The maintenance obligation is generally considered as one of the main vehicles of materialization of solidarity between ex-spouses. In this context, we will examine the goals that have been assigned to this tool of financial relief. Our analysis is focused on Portuguese law and is based on the reform that took place at the end of 2008. Finally, we reflect on the potential of the autonomous compensatory obligation enhanced by this reform of the Portuguese Family Law
