Following a 26-year traditional marriage, the parties disputed spousal support and property equalization.
The court found the applicant had a strong claim for both compensatory and non-compensatory spousal support due to her role as a stay-at-home parent.
The court imputed a minimum wage income to the applicant starting in 2022.
The court held that the applicant was entitled to share in the respondent's significant post-separation income increases, including Restricted Stock Units, as her contributions during the marriage laid the foundation for his later success.
The court fixed spousal support at $12,000 per month for 2024 when the respondent's income exceeded $350,000.
The court dismissed the respondent's late claim for retroactive support adjustments.
The applicant was ordered to pay occupation rent of $1,500 per month from May 2023.
The court ordered the parties' pensions to be equalized rather than divided at source, and allowed the deduction of notional disposition costs for a rental property.
