The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG) assist Ontario Courts in determining the entitlement, amount, and duration of spousal support payable by a spouse in Family Law proceedings.
The Guidelines consider the duration of the marriage, age, and income of the parties, any child support obligations and other relevant factors in determining spousal support obligations.
Legal professionals utilize software based on the Guidelines to calculate the range of possible spousal support entitlements that may be awarded.
Ontario’s Courts are required to consider the SSAG’s and to provide reasons for any decision that departs from them.
