Thank you for your question. I need to obtain further facts from you, in order to place them into a computer program which provides an estimate of the length of spousal support, and the low/mid/high ranges of quantum, based on the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines. There is no automatic right to receive spousal support. If you call me at: (877) 668-9386 you can provide me with your facts, one example being your individual incomes, and I will provide you with a free consultation. Please also note that as you have only been married for two years your property rights may be different from longer married couples, based on section 5(6) of the Family Law Act.

(The information provided above is general, not legal advice, as circumstances vary from case to case. Thus, if you wish legal advice that you can rely upon for your specific case, please contact Douglas Briand for a free consultation).
