Speak with an Ottawa spousal support lawyer about your rights and obligations after separation. Davies & Maxim LLP advises clients seeking spousal support and those being asked to pay it.

 

Whether you are negotiating a separation agreement, disputing income or dealing with an existing support order, we can help you understand your position and decide how to proceed.
 

Spousal Support Advice and Representation
 

We assist with:
 

• determining entitlement to spousal support;

• assessing income, financial disclosure and earning capacity;

• advising on the amount and duration of support;

• interim support, retroactive claims and unpaid support;

• monthly payments, lump-sum proposals and support terms in separation agreements; and

• court proceedings, enforcement and applications to change existing orders.

Understanding Your Spousal Support Position
 

Spousal support involves consideration of the length of the relationship, the roles each spouse performed, their financial means and needs, and existing support agreements or orders.

We review your circumstances and financial disclosure to advise on entitlement, the amount of support and how long payments may continue. Where income is disputed, we examine the evidence supporting the proposed calculation.
 

We represent clients through negotiation and mediation, and before the court when proceedings are necessary. Our advice addresses the terms of a proposed settlement and how those terms may affect your finances over time.
