I am trying to find out if there is a time limit on applying for spousal support. My same sex common law partner walked out over 4 years ago and said he was going to 'take me' for spousal support. Nothing has happened yet though. Do I have to remain on edge until I die, or will this ever go away?
I've found a quote on this website that says :
5. Time limit to apply for spousal support. If you were married, you always have the right to apply for spousal support, no matter how long has passed since you separated. If you weren't married, you need to ensure that you apply for spousal support within 2 years of separation.
Others tell me that there is no time limit.
Which is true?
Thanks
