The appellant appealed a trial judge's order regarding spousal support.
The Divisional Court found that the trial judge failed to appreciate uncontested evidence that the appellant's income had been reduced by about fifty percent and failed to consult the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG).
Given the lack of reasons, the court owed little deference to the trial judge.
The appeal was allowed, and spousal support was fixed at $525 per month based on the SSAG.
