Maintenance Tours
You’ll notice sometimes, after a super star’s divorce, they’ll immediately go back out on tour. You might think they are just returning to their roots or maybe wanting to recapture their youth by jamming away in front of 20,000 adoring fans. Maybe. And maybe it’s just that they owe their recently divorced spouse a boat-load of maintenance, or alimony. It wouldn’t be too uncommon to find a provision in their separation agreement which allows them to either make regular payments or to make a lump sum payment. Some obligors may even purchase an annuity to make the payments for them. Either way, often the real reason your favorite golden oldie returns to perform one last time, is better phrased a “Maintenance Tour”.
