British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from J.D.C. v. K.L.M.F.C., 2014 BCSC 2182 (CanLII):

The SSAG are useful in establishing the appropriate ranges of spousal support in order to ensure “a pattern of predictable awards”: Mann v. Mann, 2009 BCCA 18 at para. 72. The SSAG are important to the analysis but remain guidelines only and not the law.
