FAQ
Married Spouses Subject to a written agreement to the contrary in the proper form known as a Family Law Agreement, married couples, including those of the same sex and hetro-sexual spouses, are entitled to share in 50% of the value of all family assets as determined by the Family Law Act.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In British Columbia, there are three grounds for entitlement to spousal support: compensatory (economic) support, non-compensatory (dependency) support, and contractual support. Entitlement can be sought on any one or more of the three grounds.
It is difficult to receive alimony for a marriage that is under seven years in length, particularly when part of that time was spent with the spouses living separately from one another. However, as Ms. Jenkins mentioned it is not impossible.
