EP.40 What About Spousal Support?!

Split. The After Ever After Podcast

Spousal support (called alimony in the US) is one of the most complicated and contentious areas of family law. The guidelines are complex with lots of grey areas, which can mean lots of room for conflict. Having what you need to make informed decisions is important.

Today we discuss the basics of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG), including:

+Who is entitled to support

+Compensatory vs. non-compensatory support

+Spousal support with and without children

+When does support end?

+What is a lump-sum payment?
