Spousal support is money paid by one spouse to the other to help that spouse cover his or her living expenses or as compensation for financial decisions made during the parties' relationship. The amount of child support payable is usually fixed according to tables contained in the Child Support Guidelines, which set support according to the number of children and the income of the person paying support. While there are some exceptions to the Guidelines, the amount of child support payable is almost always the amount set out in the tables. | |||
