This judgment addresses the entitlement, quantum, and duration of spousal support, calculation of retroactive support, and child support following a divorce.
The court found the applicant wife entitled to non-compensatory spousal support due to income disparity, but not a strong compensatory claim.
Spousal support was set at the mid-range of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines and ordered to terminate on September 30, 2024, considering the applicant's re-partnering and efforts towards self-sufficiency.
Retroactive child and spousal support were fixed, with a tax adjustment applied to the lump-sum spousal support.
Despite the respondent husband being the more successful party on the merits, no costs were awarded due to his deliberate non-compliance with an interim support order.
