Question about Spousal Support

The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines provide the calculation of Spousal support depending upon the length of cohabitation and the incomes of each of the parties. If you were together for 25 years or more then yes, you would be entitled to 50% of the difference in your respective annual incomes – dividing that annual figure by 12 would give you the monthly amount that is payable as spousal support which would be taxable as income in your hands and tax deductible to him. You can apply for orders for him to maintain you as a beneficiary on his various plans and benefits.
