After a marriage’s breakdown, a spouse is often obligated to support their former partner financially. They are also required to provide child support after separation. If you are looking for a spousal and child support lawyer in Surrey or other British Columbia regions, Cube Law will help you along the way.
Our lawyers will assist you in making the necessary arrangements to provide or receive spousal support. They will also help you with the legalities of offering child support to your kid. The responsibility of offering this support often lies with the parent who does not live with the child. This parent, according to their financial health, is required to provide financial support to their former spouse and child.
You can provide two kinds of spousal support to your former partner in British Columbia – compensatory and non-compensatory.
An individual receives compensatory spousal if they assume primary duties of taking care of their child and other household responsibilities. Non-compensatory spousal support is for people facing financial difficulties after separation due to economic disadvantages.
The spousal and child support framework in BC is designed to ensure the economic stability of both spouses after separation. Our lawyers will help you make a claim and resolve any dispute you may encounter in your journey after separation.
The court in BC decides the amount and necessity for spousal support based on the following factors:
While both parents are responsible for taking care of their child, child support is generally paid by the parent not living with their kid.
The contribution of each partner depends on multiple factors. The court analyzes factors like standard of living, occupation, net worth, and more before finalizing the amount to be paid by each partner.
If you think your share in spousal and child support is unfair, our lawyer will help you resolve the issue. You can opt for mediation and/or trial depending on the circumstances. We will represent you in court and work for your best interests.
Spousal support is important to ensure each former partner’s well-being after separation. For example, if a partner gets their child’s custody and is not financially capable of raising the kid alone, the other spouse is required to provide adequate financial help.
Yes, both parents are obliged to provide child support even if their kid lives with neither of the two parties.
