Hi ****! The amount of alimony (spousal support) in Alberta depends on various factors, including the length of the marriage, the income of both parties, and the financial needs and circumstances. There isn't a fixed formula, but here are some general points:
- Duration of Marriage: Longer marriages typically result in higher and longer support payments.
- Income Disparity: A significant income difference between spouses may increase support.
- Recipient's Needs: The financial needs of the recipient are considered.
- Payor’s Ability: The ability of the payor to provide support is assessed.
It’s best to consult with a local lawyer or use the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG) for a more precise estimate. Do you need help finding a lawyer?
