A family law trial addressing disputed separation date, spousal support entitlement and quantum, child support, section 7 expenses, and property equalization following a long marriage.
The court determined the separation and valuation date as July 1, 2010 where evidence conflicted.
The respondent spouse was found entitled to spousal support on both need and compensatory bases due to her role as primary caregiver and reduced earning capacity.
Ongoing spousal support was ordered indefinitely under the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, with child support payable under the Federal Child Support Guidelines and limited retroactive adjustments.
Certain section 7 expenses were credited and set off, and minimal value was assigned to disputed foreign property.
