In what circumstances will one spouse have to pay the other spouse’s spousal and child support?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Berta v. Berta, 2014 ONSC 3919 (CanLII):
L’Heureux-Dubé J. states in Moge v. Moge, at para. 45: Equitable distribution can be achieved in many ways: by spousal and child support, by the division of property and assets or by a combination of property and support entitlements. But in many if not most cases, the absence of accumulated assets may require that one spouse pay support to the other in order to effect an equitable distribution of resources.
