What Is the Rule of 65 for Spousal Support, and How Does It Affect Alimony Calculation in BC? The 'Rule of 65' under SSAG outlines the duration of spousal support after a long-term relationship in later life. If the recipient's age plus the marriage length totals 65 or more, they may receive indefinite support.
40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.
The spousal support amount ranges from 1.5 to 2 percent of the difference between the spouses' gross incomes for each year of the relationship up to a maximum of 50 percent. For marriages of 25 years or longer, the range is from 37.5 to 50 percent of the income difference, practically equalizing the incomes.
Often, spousal support will last for between six months and one year for every year you were married or lived together. But if you were married for a long time and you're older when you separate, spousal support might not have an end date. The end date would be decided later, maybe after you (usually the payor) retire.
The rule of 65 is this: add the number of years of cohabitation/marriage to the age of the support recipient on the date of separation; if those numbers added together total 65 or more, spousal support is indefinite.
Short- or long-term spousal support, also called separation maintenance (or alimony in a divorce) may be required if one partner is financially reliant on the other. You may also be entitled to spousal support if your marriage lasted a certain period of time, or because of a variety of other factors.
