At ¶ 81-82, Kraft J. found that while the wife had taken some steps to find some employment, she had not developed any significant job skills. Her training was dated. Given the length of the marriage and the roles assumed in it, she would “… require a reasonable amount of time to formulate and implement a plan to achieve greater financial independence”. In this regard, Kraft J.’s analysis aligns with ¶ 14(5.) of Politis v. Politis (ie. the need to achieve economic self-sufficiency is often of less significance at the interim motion stage). I also note Kraft J.’s comments about the wife requiring more time were made in the context of a motion that was argued 1 year and 7 months after the date of the parties’ separation.
