Is there any case law in which a spouse has been granted a reapportionment in favour of their spouse to allow them to retrain to work?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Vazzaz v. Vazzaz, 2006 BCSC 363 (CanLII):

My view is bolstered by other cases in which a reapportionment was ordered in favour of a spouse to allow her to retrain. See, for example: Gordo v. Gordo, [1996] B.C.J. No. 2685 (S.C.) and Tedham, supra.
