The parties separated after a 15-year marriage with no children.
Almost a year after separation, the respondent wife was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and subsequently sought spousal support.
The applicant husband sought a divorce.
The court found no entitlement to compensatory support as the respondent was not economically disadvantaged by the marriage.
The court also denied non-compensatory support, holding that the respondent's disability arose post-separation, was not contemplated during the marriage, and had no connection to the marriage breakdown.
The interim support order was vacated, arrears were set to zero, and the divorce was granted.
