The parties separated after a 12-year traditional marriage.
The applicant father retained custody of the two children, while the respondent mother retrained and entered the workforce.
The court determined the parties' incomes for support purposes, declining to find the applicant intentionally underemployed but averaging his income over three years due to a recent drop.
The respondent was awarded spousal support of $650 per month based on compensatory and non-compensatory grounds, subject to a five-year review.
The court also ordered retroactive child and spousal support, resulting in a net payment owed by the respondent.
Furthermore, the court enforced a prior consent order requiring the applicant to repay the CRA for child tax benefits improperly received into a joint account post-separation.
Finally, the respondent was ordered to pay her proportional share of certain section 7 expenses.
