An application for spousal support brought under the Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act by a spouse residing in Nova Scotia against a spouse residing in Ontario.
The applicant sought indefinite ongoing spousal support retroactive to February 1, 2013, in the amount of $1,500 per month.
The court found entitlement to spousal support on both compensatory and non-compensatory grounds based on the applicant's role as primary caregiver and household manager, which compromised her income-earning potential.
The court declined to award retroactive support but ordered prospective support commencing from the date of service of the application.
The court awarded $1,200 per month indefinite spousal support, with arrears calculated and a repayment schedule established.
