Common methods for calculating spousal support typically take up to 40% of the paying spouse's net income, which is calculated after child support. 50% of the recipient spouse's net income is then subtracted from the total if they are working.

The amount of support ranges from 1.5 to 2 per cent of the difference between the spouses' gross income amounts for each year of marriage or cohabitation, up to a maximum of 50 percent, (where 50 percent represents an equalization in income).

Though the laws vary by province, the principle is that each spouse gets 50% of the wealth generated during the course of the marriage. What you had before the marriage is yours The primary matrimonial home is always split 50/50 even if it was acquired prior to the marriage.

The guideline states that the paying spouse's support be presumptively 40% of his or her net monthly income, reduced by one-half of the receiving spouse's net monthly income. If child support is an issue, spousal support is calculated after child support is calculated.

How Does the Court Usually Divide Property? A court in Washington State will usually a) award each party his or her own separate property and b) divide the net value of the parties' community property 50/50.

Remarriage or New Relationship: While remarriage of the recipient doesn't automatically end support in Ontario, it can be grounds for reassessment. The new partner's financial contribution may influence the need for ongoing support.

In cases of long term relationships, spousal support may be payable indefinitely. However, in those cases, the parties have usually divided up their assets, including pension plans. If that has happened, when the payor retires, the payor will be living on their share of the pension.

In essence, the court first looks at the economic need of the party seeking spousal support. The court measures this need by comparing the monthly income of the person seeking alimony with their monthly expenses. The shortfall between a party's income and their expenses is that party's economic need.
