Spousal
Support
Spousal support, also known as alimony, may be claimed, upon separation or divorce, by couples who were married or lived in a common-law relationship. Spousal support is generally awarded when one spouse was dependent upon the other during the course of the relationship or has suffered a financial detriment as a result of the relationship (such as staying home to take care of children).
During separation or divorce, finances may become strained. Our family lawyers have the experience and skill to obtain spousal support and to defend against spousal support claims. During this emotional time of transition, it is important to focus on your family and allow experienced family law lawyers to secure the financial future of your family.
