The parties cohabited for nine years and had one child.
Following separation, the respondent sought spousal support, equalization of net family property, and proportionate sharing of section 7 expenses.
The court imputed an income of $65,000 to the respondent, who operated a cleaning business and received CPP disability benefits, finding she was intentionally under-employed by choice to prioritize her child and health.
The court dismissed the spousal support claim, finding the respondent was self-sufficient and suffered no economic disadvantage from the marriage.
The applicant was ordered to pay an equalization payment of $125,747.88, maintain a $50,000 life insurance policy to secure child support, and pay 60% of section 7 expenses.
