Is my Spouse Entitled to Spousal Support? Whether a spouse is entitled to spousal support is a complex legal issue. Entitlement is not automatic despite the spousal support guidelines. A spouse must demonstrate on a balance of probabilities that he or she is entitled to receive spousal support from the other spouse. Once entitlement is established, only then do you look at the quantum, meaning the amount to be paid, and the duration, meaning how long it should be paid. With a...ll of these aspects to consider, many separating spouses find the issue of spousal support confusing and challenging. Entitlement can either arise from the circumstances of and roles adopted during a marriage or from a common-law relationship. The determination of entitlement to spousal support is grounded in the circumstances of the relationship and its breakdown, and is therefore fact-specific. No two cases are exactly the same. It is for this reason that obtaining advice from a lawyer to assess whether you or your spouse are entitled is so important. Here at Holam Law PC, we have the experience and expertise to guide you through this analysis and to help resolve issues of spousal support.

Like marriage contracts, having a binding and enforceable cohabitation agreement is akin to having vehicle insurance. Just like car insurance may protect you in the event of an accident, a cohabitation agreement may protect or limit your financial risk or liability upon separation. This is because a cohabitation agreement generally sets out each party’s rights and obligations, such as how family and individual assets are to be divided, etc., in the event of a breakdown of you...r relationship. This is especially important if you are entering a second relationship with significant assets you wish to protect. If you are in the process of discussing with your future spouse a cohabitation agreement or are considering one, now would be a great time to contact us.

Marriage contracts are also known colloquially in the general community as pre-nuptial agreements or prenups. Marriage contracts in Ontario are often negotiated and put into place before marriage, but can also be finalized after the marriage has already taken place. In fact, if your circumstances change at any time during your marriage, it may be a good idea to review any existing marriage contract to consider if more reasonable, up-dated terms are warranted. At Holam Law PC,... we strive to work with our clients to craft marriage contracts that are best suited to their financial needs. We provide legal advice to best achieve a client’s goals. The terms of the agreement can be tailored to address the specific needs of the client, and can include clauses in relation to spousal support, exclusion of specific property and assets, and/or inclusion of same in relation to property division at separation, to ensure that each spouse’s expectations of the other are clearly delineated from the outset.

One of the primary objectives of the Child Support Guidelines is to establish a fair standard of support for children so as to ensure that they continue to benefit from the financial means of both parents after separation. Normally, the parent who does not have care of the child a majority of the time will be required to pay child support to the other parent. In circumstances where separated spouses share approximately equal parenting time of their child(ren), the amount of c...hild support payable may be dictated by other factors. The first step in resolving your child support issues is to contact us for a consultation so that we can understand your particular circumstance, provide insight into your matter, and discuss the processes by which the issue can be resolved.
