Is a spouse entitled to share in post-separation income increases if the recipient spouse has contributed significantly to the recipient's income during the course of the marriage?

These criteria were significantly expanded by Justice Chappel in Thompson v. Thompson[13] in which she repeated and expanded upon the general principle that a spouse is not automatically entitled to share in post-separation income increases. Relevant to these circumstances, she included in her analysis a consideration of whether the increase can be linked to contributions made by the recipient spouse; whether the parties’ personal and financial affairs became completely integrated during the course of the marriage, and the extent of the recipient’s sacrifices and contributions to the family.
