In what circumstances will a spouse not receive spousal support from her husband's increased income?

In Eastwood v. Eastwood, 2006 CarswellNB 655, I commented on the three types of support available and at paragraph 20 I said: There are three types of support available: compensatory, dependence and contractual. Even though the Respondent earned more than the Petitioner at separation that had not been the case throughout the marriage. There was no evidence to indicate that his recent higher income was used to enhance their lifestyle. Even if there was some dependence on his increased income it was for about two years at best. Consequently, this short period of dependence will not support any long duration of spousal support. The fact is that they were both somewhat economically dependent on the other for economic support during the marriage. (emphasis added) In the case at bar, as stated earlier in this decision, Mills’ increased income was for less than one year at separation.
