How To Get Spousal Support How To Get Spousal Support (Alimony) What is the difference between spousal support and alimony? Spousal support is the Canadian term and spousal support in the US is called alimony. Spousal support is one of the most contentious areas of divorce. One spouse must pay the other one and there are always issues around how much and why they have to pay that much. Some feel they did not get enough credit or the other spouse got too much credit for what they brought to the relationship while married. Spousal support is about paying support to the other spouse, it is not child support or any other type of support. Spousal support can also apply to couples that live together in some circumstances.

Toronto Family Lawyer John Schuman Talks About Child Custody Toronto Family Lawyer John Schuman Talks About Child Custody In this video interview, family lawyer and certified specialist John Schuman discusses what you should know about child custody and how the courts view cases in this episode of “To Your Success TV” with host Ken Wells. John explains the term “Custody” and what it means in Ontario Courts as it is often misinterpreted. The term custody refers to who makes the really big decisions for a child or children such as healthcare, education, religion and other large decisions. Unlike the day to day decisions which are left with the parent caring for the child unless there is an agreement or order otherwise.. Often when we refer to different types of custody, we are referring mostly to who makes the decisions, which may or may not related to where the child lives most of the time. When we talk about where a child lives, its more popular to talk about “parenting time” however you can also hear terms like “primary residence”, “secondary residence” and “access”. John also explains the difference between sole custody and joint custody and reviews the various parenting arrangements. In Sole Custody one person has the final say on the big decisions, preferably after consulting the other parent. A child can still spend lots of time with both parents, even equal time, when there is “sole custody” because that relates to decision making. In Joint Custody parents have to make the decisions together. But not always when there is lots of conflict. He also discusses the factors that come into play to suggest what type of court order or parenting order a court might take. Lastly he covers what a parent can do to improve the courts perception of them as a parent and increase the likelihood of the court deciding in conjunction with their wishes.
