Divorced woman rights

[hambousha]

Hi all
If a woman get divorced before moving permanently to Canada
She will live with her 4 years old kid
What will be the spouse benefit and child benefit if the payor (husband) is with no income for 6 months ?
What is the benefit for her after the husband gets a job? Shall the agreement change

This is a family law matter - not an immigration matter. You will need to speak to your lawyer. The answer depends on many things including where the father is living and what the support agreement is with the courts.

Just to add, if you haven’t landed when you are divorced, you are no longer entitled to spousal sponsorship.

Thanks all
We landed before unfortunately
I know it is a family mot immigration issue
But just asking in general
Is it like 10-20-50% of salary ?
Should husband cover her accomodation ?

There is no "general" answer. That is up to the courts to decide.

Wives are also expected to go to work. Spousal support is usually not enough to live on.

I think this should be asked to a family law lawyer.. as it is very xomplco situation

There is no garauntee that she will retain custody of the children. The courts will determine what is best for those involved. If both recieve custody, both parents pay support. Without knowing his income, how long you were married, your employment status, it’s impossible to give an answer. Will he have to pay for your accommodations directly........unlikely. It will be a set amount monthly. Spousal support is a taxable amount and you will need to declare it as income.

Unless you are making quite a lot of money both parties end up struggling. As previously indicated this is a family law situation which also depends on custody and whether you were the only person working during your marriage.
