This research note summarizes some of our work on the allocation of maintenance (alimony payments) in Belgium, specifically the obligation of a husband to provide maintenance and the entitlement of his former wife to receive it following a divorce grounded in fault. The converse situation of a maintenance-obliged wife and a maintenance-entitled husband occurs only rarely, and it is excluded from our study. So too, we do not consider the obligations of either or both divorced parents to provide maintenance for their children
