The Law Commission is poised to make a recommendation along these lines and is also expected to publish a draft bill to pave the way. Family law experts are also expecting the Law Commission to propose the limitation of lifetime maintenance payments. Family lawyer Camilla Baldwin said: 'It is high time that this issue was looked at again because, at the moment, it is a running sore for husbands, wives and the lawyers trying to help resolve the financial aspects of the breakdown of their marriage.'
