RCW 26.09.090 (Maintenance orders for either spouse or either domestic partner – Factors) provides the nonexclusive statutory factors for the court to set spousal maintenance. The statute can be accessed here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=26.09 .

The trial court has wide discretion in setting spousal maintenance.
