Question:
In Minnesota, if a maintenance award is reserved for a period of 3 years while the husband (obligor) goes back to school, can the judge grant an extension of the reservation period after the three years has passed if husband decides to stay in school longer?
Answer:
I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of Minnesota as I am not licensed to practice law in that State. Missouri does not have a similiar "reservation" period so I can not answer that question. I suggest you contact the original attorney who handled the case or speak to a new attorney. Either way, if the reservation period is extended, the Judgment will have to modified to show a change. Please contact an attorney to determine if an extension of the reservation period is allowed.
