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.
