Spousal Support Services
Understanding Spousal Support
Spousal support refers to payments made from one spouse to the other following a separation or divorce. It helps address the financial imbalance caused by the end of the relationship. Depending on the circumstances, support can be short-term or extend over a longer period.
The amount and duration of spousal support are influenced by several factors, including:
-
How long the spouses lived together or were married
-
The roles and responsibilities each spouse had during the relationship
-
The difference in their incomes
-
Each person’s future earning potential and financial needs
Because every case is different, reaching a fair agreement requires careful analysis and expert judgment.
Why Spousal Support Calculations Are Complex in Ontario
Ontario follows both federal and provincial guidelines for spousal support, but no set formula determines the outcome. The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG) outline a suggested range for payments rather than a specific amount. Courts and mediators use these guidelines as a reference, but outcomes depend heavily on individual circumstances.
