How does compensation support address economic disadvantageages caused by a long-term relationship?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Beneteau v. Young, 2009 CanLII 40312 (ON SC):
I agree with that observation. (See also Russell v. Russell, supra, at para. 124.) - Compensatory Support Addresses Economic Disadvantages Incurred during Relationship
The general purpose of support is to address financial inequality following the end of a relationship. As stated by McLachlin J. (as she then was), in Bracklow v. Bracklow, 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 420, at para. 1: “It is now well-settled law that spouses must compensate each other for foregone careers and missed opportunities during the marriage upon the breakdown of their union.”
