The plaintiff brought a motion for interim dependant support and exclusive possession of a home and vehicle from the estate of her deceased partner.
The defendant estate trustees, the deceased's daughters, opposed the motion, arguing the plaintiff was not a 'spouse' under the Succession Law Reform Act.
The court applied the Molodowich factors and found the plaintiff and the deceased had cohabited continuously for over three years and that she was financially dependent on him.
The court granted the plaintiff $2,000 per month in interim support and conditional interim possession of the home and vehicle.
