What is the test for an award based on compensatory support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Stanley v. Stanley, 2013 BCSC 371 (CanLII):
An award based on compensatory support recognizes that a spouse can suffer economic loss or disadvantage arising from the nature of the marriage relationship or its breakdown: Moge v. Moge, 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 813. Further, a spouse may have sacrificed their career or made other efforts during the marriage that conferred an economic advantage on their spouse, an advantage that persists after the breakdown of the marriage.
