The appellant appealed a trial judge's order requiring him to pay his former common-law spouse $75,000 for unjust enrichment and $561 in indefinite monthly spousal support.
The appellant argued the trial judge erred in finding unjust enrichment and in awarding indefinite rather than transitional support.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's application of the test for unjust enrichment or her assessment of the respondent's contributions to the property.
The court also upheld the indefinite spousal support award as reasonable given the respondent's age, income potential, and the 17-year duration of the relationship.
