Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines
The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAGs) are guidelines that can help you and your partner and the judge decide how much spousal support should be paid and for how long. These are only guidelines, not laws. A judge can order more or less support than what the guidelines say. The SSAGs use 2 different formulas. One is for partners who have no children together. The other is for partners who have children together. The formulas calculate a range of low, middle, and high support amounts, as well as the length of time spousal support might be paid.
