The appellant husband appealed a Divisional Court order that varied a time-limited spousal support order to an indefinite, reviewable order.
The trial judge had originally ordered the husband to pay spousal support for three years, finding the wife capable of achieving economic self-sufficiency.
The Divisional Court overturned this, concluding the trial judge misapprehended evidence regarding the wife's job search efforts.
The Court of Appeal allowed the husband's appeal, finding the trial judge had properly considered and weighed the evidence without palpable and overriding error.
The trial judge's original time-limited support order was reinstated.
