What is the test for entitlement to compensation in a long-term relationship?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.A.C. v K.J, 2021 BCSC 2479 (CanLII):
Compensatory support is intended to provide for an equitable sharing of the economic consequences of the relationship or its breakdown. Both economic advantage and disadvantage are considered. The longer the relationship, the greater will be the presumptive claim to an equal standard of living upon its breakdown: Chutter v. Chutter, 2008 BCCA 507 [Chutter] at paras. 50-52; Bracklow at paras. 34 and 39; Moge at 861-863 and 870.
