Instead of paying spousal maintenance, can I make my ex-spouse’s house payment?

Yes – it is typically permissible to have a support agreement that includes direct payment of one or more expenses directly. There may be benefits to establishing a direct payment agreement to ensure certain expenses are paid and help both of you have financial stability. You should make sure you have a clearly outlined agreement and understanding of the obligation moving forward.
