The [http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/pi/fcy-fea/spo-epo/g-ld/spag/toc-tdm.html Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines] is an academic paper released by the federal Department of Justice in July 2008. It is not a law and is not expected to become a law.

While no one is required to use the Advisory Guidelines, lawyers and the courts routinely use them in making decisions about spousal support. | The [http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/pi/fcy-fea/spo-epo/g-ld/spag/toc-tdm.html Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines] is an academic paper released by the federal Department of Justice in July 2008.
