====Basic financial information====
All applications about spousal support typically require that each spouse cough up certain documents to prove his or her income, in addition to a sworn Financial Statement. The most common of these documents for people who are ''employees'' are:
*the last three years of personal income tax returns,
*all notices of assessment or reassessment received in relation to the last three tax years, and
*a recent paystub showing earnings-to-day or a letter from the employer confirming the terms of a party's income.
People who have income from ''EI'', ''WCB'', ''CPP'', or ''social assistance'', will also have to produce their three most recent statements or cheque stubs from their payments.
People who are ''self-employed'' in an unincorporated business will also have to produce:
*statements of professional or business income,
*a statement showing a breakdown of all payments to non-arm's-length parties like relatives, children, or new spouses, and
*balance sheets, if available.
