Spousal Support
How Do You Navigate Spousal Support During a Relationship Breakdown?
Spousal support is court ordered financial support an individual must give to their spouse following a separation/divorce.
Whether you are married or common law, spousal support may be available if you sacrificed your ability to earn income, are obligated to pay for childcare or need financial support as a result of a relationship breakdown.
How Do You Determine Your Value?
Know your worth: choosing to step away from career aspirations to take on the role of a stay-at-home parent is a significant sacrifice. It’s a job that often goes unpaid, undervalued, and underappreciated. In doing so, you’ve made the difficult decision to prioritize what’s best for your family, sometimes at the expense of your own personal or professional growth. Recognizing the value of this role is essential as you navigate the next steps.
Coming to terms with a relationship breakdown is a vulnerable process, especially when adjusting to new life circumstances. During this time, it’s important to evaluate the support you're entitled to in order to continue providing a safe and nurturing environment for your family.
