The 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. When someone is entitled to receive spousal support, the Advisory Guidelines describes several different formulas that can be used to calculate how much support should be paid and the length of time it should be paid for. While no one is required to use the Advisory Guidelines, lawyers and the courts routinely use them in making decisions about spousal support. | The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines is an academic paper released by the federal Department of Justice in July 2008.
