What is the impact of a respondent's decision to become self-employed?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from M.L. v. G.L., 2015 BCSC 1107 (CanLII):
I find the respondent acted responsibly when he abandoned a salaried position and became self-employed. In so doing, he improved his earning potential. His earnings since July 2010 have been roughly equivalent to or better than his salaried earnings before separation and there is no reasonable basis for criticism of his decision to become self-employed: see Hanson v. Hanson (1999), 92 A.C.W.S. (3d) 1024, 1999 CanLII 6307, at para. 16 (B.C.S.C.).
