The appellant wife appealed a trial judgment fixing time-limited spousal support at $550 per month.
The wife, who was qualified in Early Childhood Education, refused to seek employment in her field, instead pursuing a lengthy and unrealistic educational program to become a teacher.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in principle in the time limit, as the husband should not bear the costs of an unrealistic educational program.
The quantum was also upheld, as the parties were in similar after-tax positions and the wife had exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.
