The parties separated after a 12-year marriage during which they lived in Switzerland.
The mother relocated to Ontario with their two children, one of whom has severe autism.
The father remained in Switzerland, earning a high income subject to lower tax rates.
At trial, the court determined the father's income for support purposes, rejecting his argument for a downward adjustment based on Switzerland's higher cost of living.
The court also refused to impute income to the mother, finding her unemployment was required to care for the children.
The court awarded the mother an equalization payment, retroactive section 7 expenses, a lump sum for retroactive spousal support, and ongoing spousal support of $10,000 per month, adjusting the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines calculations to account for the father's foreign tax advantages.
