What is spousal support and why you should call Unique Law Firm for your divorce:
Spousal Support Explained:

Numerous considerations come into play when determining whether a legally wedded or common-law partner qualifies for spousal support and the appropriate amount to be granted.
This website offers fundamental insights. Family law is intricate. It is advisable to seek legal counsel for guidance pertaining to family law matters.
Introduction of Spousal Support Guidelines:
The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines were introduced on January 1st, 2005. Their purpose is to enhance clarity and predictability in determining ongoing spousal support amounts when the recipient spouse qualifies for such support.
Matrimonial Dispute Resolution Progression:
The evolution of dispute resolution is evident. Fundamental values lie beneath the surface during divorce proceedings. Acknowledging and comprehending these values is crucial for achieving meaningful resolutions between spouses.

Non-binding Nature of Spousal Support Guidelines:
