The following excerpt is from Sachdeva v. Sachdeva, 2013 BCSC 313 (CanLII):
The respondent argued that the claimant was not a person who was out of the job market for many years and exclusively caring for the children and managing household tasks. He relies on Mackenzie v. Mackenzie, 1998 CanLII 1225 (B.C.S.C.) for the proposition that permanent maintenance should not be ordered for the claimant because his work schedule allowed him to undertake substantial parts of the child rearing and household maintenance and she is now capable of earning a substantial income. He referred to her demonstrated accomplishments in real estate and in acupressure. Her real estate sales income was considerable and her skill and achievements in acupressure are evidence of an ability to earn a substantial income notwithstanding her allegation that business has dwindled.
