FAQs
Courts are not required to follow the SSAGs, but they are used by courts as general guidelines to determine the amount of spousal support and the duration. The SSAGs are not binding on courts, but they help to streamline the amount and duration of a spousal support award. The SSAGs have two guidelines — spousal support with dependent children, and support without dependent children.
The courts often use an income sharing model to determine spousal support, looking at the difference between the parties’ incomes. Spousal support payments typically can be lump-sum awards or a series of ongoing payments.
