Step 1: Establish *entitlement* to Spousal Support.
If yes. Goto Step 2:
If no. Goto Step 1 and bring forward an Application to court.
Step 2: Establish amount in accordance with the Guide Lines.
If agreed go to Step 3.
If disagreed to amount goto Step 1:
Step 3: Pay SS.
See the cyclic loop for those who are not entitled but keep thinking they are... Always in court.
Good Luck!

I'm being told by the lawyers that she is entitled. I'm wondering about what amount to expect. There is already child support set.

She's been employed, and in a well paying job for years now so I think it's the NC one...
Me: 105K Her: 80K
3 kids.
11 years married, 15 together.
she is 36

Your income?
Her income?
Number of kids?
Years married?
Her age?
At least it is non-compensatory, compensatory SS seems like a nightmare. NC SS at least usually comes to an end eventually...

Besides which, she makes nearly what you do, and you are paying her child support.
Her claim is ridiculous. Why does your lawyer say otherwise??

If you have a lawyer and they are telling you they have established entitlement. Then you should seriously consider moving to Step 3. If you don't like the answer ask another lawyer and see what they say. More than likely if you have a good lawyer... They will instruct you on what will most likely happen and be required.

To quote a very Honourable Justice in a similar matter for which I sat in at the Brampton Superior Court:
"I won't allow it! THAT IS GOUGING! I KNOW EXACTLY WHY YOU ARE ASKING FOR $XXX A MONTH IN SS! SS IS NOT EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE!"
Interestingly the justice ordered that the lawyer for the other side have to present the alleged "SS payer" a full release from SS and no ability to EVER come back to court to request SS on any change for any reason.
Good Luck!
