Vallee J.

Following a 26-year marriage, the applicant sought spousal support, child support, and equalization of net family property.

The court found the applicant entitled to compensatory and non-compensatory spousal support, supporting her return to university to become a registered nurse.

Income was imputed to the respondent due to unexplained spending exceeding his declared income.

The court ordered the respondent to pay combined ongoing support, arrears, and his proportionate share of section 7 expenses.

The applicant was ordered to pay an equalization payment, subject to post-separation adjustments owed by the respondent.

The applicant wife was successful on a motion regarding the respondent husband's failure to comply with court orders and make financial disclosure.

The court awarded costs to the applicant, noting the respondent's unreasonable behaviour and breach of four court orders.

The respondent was ordered to pay $19,298.79 in costs forthwith and prohibited from bringing further proceedings until paid.
