Does equalization affect a spouse's claim for spousal support?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Whiteside v. Govindasamy, 2021 ONSC 789 (CanLII):
The fact that a spouse has received substantial assets as a result of equalization, however, does not defeat a spousal support claim: Parton v. Parton, 2018 BCCA 273, at para. 42. There may be cases where property division addresses the objectives of spousal support and thus eliminate or reduce the need for a spousal support award, but in others it may not.
