Maintenance termination is the ending of the spousal maintenance obligation. The specific termination events depend on the decree terms and Arizona law. Standard termination events include the end of the specified term, death of either party, and remarriage of the receiving spouse.

Whether cohabitation terminates maintenance depends on what the decree says. Arizona law does not automatically terminate maintenance upon cohabitation the way remarriage does.

When maintenance terminates the income withholding order or payment arrangement must also be terminated.
