Spousal Support
Spousal support is not a given. At times it is not even on the table. Several factors are considered such as entitlement, amount, duration, financial means, need, length of marriage or cohabitation, etc.
JRB Mediations helps you sift through many of these factors to help you negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement.
-
Child Support
JRB Mediations helps you determine a fair and reasonable amount of child support, which is typically based on the Federal Child Support Guidelines, each parents’ income, and the amount of time children spend with either parent on an annual basis.
Special Expenses may also be negotiated. These are based upon the ability to pay and needs of the child. They include childcare, post-secondary school, uninsured health needs, healthcare insurance premiums, extracurricular activities, etc.
