What is the test for compensating for the economic opportunity cost resulting from a joint decision by one spouse to remain at home?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from M.M.N. v. D.K., 2003 BCSC 997 (CanLII):
The compensatory approach is premised on the notion that the economic opportunity cost resulting from a joint decision for one spouse to remain at home should be borne equally upon the breakdown of the relationship (Moge v. Moge (1992), 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), 43 R.F.L. 3rd 345 (S.C.C.)) This has no application on the facts of the case at hand.
