Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines

The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAGs) are guidelines that can help you and your partner and a judge decide how much spousal support should be paid and for how long. These are only guidelines, not laws. A judge can order more or less support than what the guidelines say.

The SSAGs use 2 different formulas. One is for partners who have no children together. The other is for partners who have children together.

The formulas calculate a range of low, middle, and high support amounts, as well as the length of time spousal support might need to be paid for.
