How is spousal support calculated when the applicant no longer has any employment income?

Although it is obviously not the law that appropriate spousal support levels are determined by equalizing the incomes of couples who have divorced, the economic benefits and disadvantages that flow from the marriage and its dissolution must be taken into account. Moge v. Moge, 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 813. The fact that the applicant will no longer have any employment income, is not the sole consideration on this variation application, nor is it determinative of whether spousal support should be terminated.
