The applicant sought to vary spousal support payable under a 2012 separation agreement, claiming retroactive and prospective increases due to the respondent's significantly higher post-separation income earned in the United States.
The court found a material change in circumstances and increased prospective spousal support to $10,500 CAD per month, calculating the non-resident respondent's income as if he were a Canadian resident.
The court awarded retroactive support back to January 2016, the date of effective notice, but declined to award support back to the date of separation, finding no wrongful conduct by the respondent.
The applicant's claim for security for support was dismissed.
