A rough SSAG range for Canadian spousal support. Not a quote, a ballpark you can use to plan, before we run the real numbers together.
SSAG Range Estimator
Estimate your spousal support range
Based on the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG), Canada's advisory framework used by judges and lawyers. This tool gives you a range, not a precise number, because SSAG is advisory and judges have discretion.
The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are advisory, not binding. Judges can and do deviate based on the facts of a case. This tool uses the Without Child Support Formula (gross-income method) for a rough range; the With Child Support Formula uses individual net disposable income and requires tax modeling we can't do in a browser.
This estimate is not legal advice and does not create a solicitor-client relationship with Lexaltico LLP. Your actual entitlement depends on entitlement first (compensatory, non-compensatory, or contractual), length of marriage, age, roles during marriage, self-sufficiency potential, and many other factors. Ceiling and floor rules apply for very high and very low incomes.
For a reliable number, we use DivorceMate software and run the numbers against your specific tax situation, book a 30-minute consult.

Family Law
High-Net-Worth Divorce Settlement
Secured 63% asset division for client with complex multi-property portfolio
Our client faced a contested divorce involving multiple properties across Ontario, RRSPs, and a family business valued at $4.2M. Through strategic negotiation and forensic accounting analysis, we achieved a division significantly above the standard equalization payment, protecting our client's business interests while ensuring fair spousal support terms.
Favourable Settlement
Child Custody
Emergency Custody Order — Child at Risk
Obtained emergency sole custody within 48 hours
When credible evidence of an unsafe environment emerged, our team filed an urgent motion under the Children's Law Reform Act. The court granted our client temporary sole custody and supervised access within two business days, protecting the children while the matter proceeded to a full hearing.
“I had the privilege of being represented by Ms. Jia Junaid and Ms. Nicole Sexton for a complex family law matter involving divorce, property division, and parenting arrangements. Their attention to detail and deep knowledge of family law were evident at every stage. What stood out most was their balanced approach: strong and strategic in negotiations, yet sensitive and supportive.”
