Call:(905) 237-5548 Non-Compensatory Spousal Support Non-Compensatory spousal support is based on the need for support and the ability to pay support.For example, if your spouse earns enough income to support you, and your income is not high enough to provide you and/or your children with a similar standard of living to that which you had during your relationship, then you may be entitled to spousal support.  Showing that there is a need for support and there is an ability to pay it, requires you to look at your respective incomes and expenses, as well as each of your standards of living.  This usually requires providing each other with sworn Financial Statements, bank statements, credit card statements, Income Tax Returns, paystubs, and other relevant documentation.  https://www.richmondhillfamilylawyers.com/
