Spousal Support

Establishing Spousal Support Obligations

In the aftermath of a separation or divorce, it is essential to establish spousal support obligations to ensure financial stability for both parties involved. Whether outlined in a Separation Agreement or determined by a court order, these obligations play a crucial role in providing for the needs of each spouse. Our family lawyers are adept at navigating this process, working to achieve fair and sustainable outcomes tailored to your specific circumstances.

Modifying Spousal Support

Life circumstances can change, necessitating modifications to existing spousal support arrangements. Whether due to fluctuations in income, shifts in employment status, or other factors, our skilled family lawyers in Victoria, BC, can assist you in navigating the legal process to modify spousal support obligations. We will assess your situation, explore available options, and advocate for modifications that align with your current needs and financial stability.

Enforcing Spousal Support

When spousal support obligations are not met, it can have significant financial implications for the recipient spouse. In British Columbia, the government’s Family Maintenance Agency (FMA) plays a central role in enforcement efforts. Our family law lawyers have experience collaborating with the FMA to ensure the fair and effective enforcement of spousal support orders. Whether through negotiation or enforcement actions, we will work diligently to protect your rights and secure the support you are entitled to.
