What is the test for determining indefinite support for a married couple?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Burke v. Poitras, 2021 ONCA 703 (CanLII):

We disagree. The trial judge considered the principles in Moge v. Moge, 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 813, and determined that support on a compensatory basis was appropriate in the circumstances. She saw no reason to depart from the number generated from the SSAGs and noted that the marriage resulted in significant economic advantages to the appellant. We note that “indefinite” support simply means that the duration is not specified. The SSAGs stress that “indefinite” does not necessarily mean “permanent”. It only means that no time limit can be set at the time of the order or agreement: p. 28.
