What are the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Gajic v. Lazeo, 2019 ONSC 4690 (CanLII):

The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines have now been available in family court proceedings for more than a decade. While they are neither legislated nor binding, and are advisory in nature, they have proven to be very useful tool in determining the appropriate range of spousal support payable in family law cases across Canada, providing more certainty and predictability to spousal support cases. A departure from the ranges suggested by guidelines requires strong rationale: Fisher v. Fisher, 2008 ONCA 11, 88 O.R. (3d) 241, at paras. 93-103. PART V: ANALYSIS
