How is spousal support determined in the context of the Divorce Act?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Johnson v. Johnson, 2002 ABQB 355 (CanLII):
In determining entitlement, I must consider the four objectives of spousal support set out in Section 15.2(6) and the factors listed in Section 15.2(4) of the Divorce Act. No single objective or factor is paramount. Moge v. Moge at para.52; Bracklow v. Bracklow at para.18.
