Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from McGuire v. McGuire, 2007 ABQB 271 (CanLII):

Bracklow v. Bracklow, 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 420 relaxed the requirement that the economic disadvantage of one of the spouses be caused by the marriage. It is now enough to consider the impact of the breakdown of the marriage.
