Spousal support can be payable, or not payable, because of a family law agreement or because of a court order. When support can't be agreed on, married and formerly married spouses can apply for spousal support under the federal ''Divorce Act''. Although both married and unmarried spouses can apply for spousal support under the provincial ''Family Law Act'', there are special rules about how a couple qualify as spouses under that act and special rules about when claims for spousal support can be made. | Spousal support can be payable, or not payable, because of a family law agreement or because of a court order.
