How to work out on post-divorce maintenance arrangements?

Maintenance and property arrangements

The following general principles are worth considering when formulating maintenance:

Live within one’s means, broaden sources of income and reduce expenditure
Take into account the needs of all members of the family
Splitting one family into two is likely to result in an increase in overall expenses. If resources are limited, members of the family might have to work together to adjust the standard of living downwards.
Distinguish between “needs” and “wants” before spending money
Consider making periodic reviews and adjustments in the future
