● Spousal Maintenance & Child Support
Spousal Maintenance & Child Support: Fair Financial Support After Separation
Understanding your obligations and entitlements when a relationship ends.
Years Combined Experience
Calculated using a formula based on both parents' incomes and care arrangements. The Child Support Agency manages it, but you can arrange private agreements.
One parent may need to support the other if earning capacity is unequal. Amount is negotiated or court-ordered.
Child support continues until children turn 18 (or finish secondary school). Spousal maintenance typically continues until change in circumstances or end date set by agreement.

How it's
calculated
Child support uses: both parents' incomes, care percentage (how much time children spend with each parent), other factors (new partner income, special circumstances). We help you understand what you'll pay or receive, and ensure calculations are accurate.
● different
What makes us different
Child support and spousal maintenance involve formulas. We explain what you'll actually pay or receive.
Circumstances change. Job loss, new partner, children finishing school. We help navigate adjustments.
Private agreements often work better than Child Support Agency enforcement. We help you reach fair agreements.
If payment isn't made, we pursue enforcement through courts or Child Support Agency.
