Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines

Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are a set of recommendations used to help determine the amount and duration of financial support one spouse may need to pay to another after a divorce or separation. These guidelines consider factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's income, and their financial needs. They aim to provide a fair and consistent approach, but they are not legally binding. Courts may adjust the suggested amounts based on specific circumstances of the case, ensuring that both parties' interests are considered during the divorce process.
