DESCRIPTION:Cet été encore\, le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et
  comparé tiendra une série de séminaires d’été auxquels toute la communaut
 é de la Faculté de droit est invitée à prendre part. Le but principal de c
 e séminaire d’été est d’offrir un forum aux jeunes chercheurs pour présent
 er leurs idées et débattre de celle d’autres chercheurs dans un cadre info
 rmel.\nBoissons froides et biscuits seront servis.\nConférencière: Jodi La
 zare\, 91ºÚÁÏÍø\nRésumé: This paper examines the opposing attitud
 es of the Quebec courts\, on the one hand\, and Canada’s common law courts
 \, on the other\, toward the use of the Spousal Support Advisory Guideline
 s\, a set of non-binding guidelines establishing ranges for amount and dur
 ation of spousal support awards. The Advisory Guidelines are meant to prov
 ide consistency and predictability in the determination of spousal support
  and to effectively minimize the habitual discretion in family law.\nOutsi
 de of Quebec\, the Advisory Guidelines have been a genuine success. Since 
 their first release in 2005\, appellate courts throughout country have end
 orsed them as a useful tool for ensuring economic fairness in the granting
  of spousal support. They have thus become the central tool in determining
  spousal support and a vital part of the practice of family law.\nQuebec’s
  approach to the Advisory Guidelines is markedly different. The Quebec Cou
 rt of Appeal has gone from completely unreceptive to the Advisory Guidelin
 es to open but cautious\, while Quebec trial judges have questioned their 
 legitimacy and described them as conceptually defective.\nThis paper explo
 res the divided reception to the Advisory Guidelines. It examines the dist
 inctive understandings of the role and function of spousal support in Queb
 ec and other provinces and argues that Quebec’s approach is rooted in outd
 ated social principles\, not reflected in the legislation or case law. It 
 suggests that Quebec adopt a comparative approach to spousal support\, as 
 it did relative to the family law reforms of the 1980’s. Such an approach 
 would better ensure economic equality and fair outcomes for divorcing spou
 ses.\n
