In what circumstances will the trial court fix permanent maintenance for the purposes of s. 15.2 of the Divorce Act?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Parker v. Vik, 2006 BCSC 1193 (CanLII):
In keeping with Leskun v. Leskun, the trial court should try to fix permanent maintenance wherever possible, subject only to a change of circumstances. The mechanism of constant review of spousal support in family cases under s. 15.2 of the Divorce Act is expensive and leads to uncertainty and a lack of finality.
