 The SSAG set out two basic mathematical formulae for determining the quantum and duration of spousal support when a person’s entitlement to receive support is established: the “with children” formula when the parties have dependent children, and the “without children” formula when child support is not being paid. The “without children” formula is relatively simple, however the “with children” formula cannot be completed without the assistance of a computer program (refer to http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/pi/pad-rpad/res/spag/ex.html).
-While the SSAG have no regulatory effect and are merely “informal”, and “advisory”, they are nevertheless being used by the courts and the bar and the ranges provided by the SSAG are given strong consideration by the Court (see ''Yemchuk v. Yemchuk'', 2005 BCCA 406 and ''Redpath v. Redpath'', 2006 BCCA 338).
