Yes, spousal support eligibility is independent of divorce grounds in Canada

In Canada, spousal support (also called alimony) is determined based on specific financial factors rather than the reason for divorce. The court considers:

  • The financial needs of the requesting spouse
  • The ability to pay of the other spouse
  • Length of the marriage or relationship
  • Each spouse’s current income and future earning potential
  • Roles and contributions during the marriage

Whether your divorce is no-fault or fault-based has no impact on support entitlement. A family law professional can help determine appropriate support arrangements based on your specific circumstances and provincial guidelines.
