Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines: "The Next Generation"

E-News and Views, DivorceMate's monthly newsletter, links this month to a new paper by Professors Carol Rogerson and Rollie Thompson, the authors of Canada's Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.

The paper, The Spousal Support Guidelines in B.C. : The Next Generation, details the "embrace" by B.C. family courts of the Guidelines, the use of which have, according to the authors, "become a routine part of family law practice in B.C."

Professors Rogerson and Thompson previously canvassed the Canada-wide judicial treatment of the Spousal Support Guidelines in their April 2007 article, The Advisory Guidelines 27 Months Later.
