What is the test for fair distribution of income between spouses?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.K. v. A.K., 2004 BCSC 37 (CanLII):
"Fair distribution does not, however mandate a minute, detailed accounting of time, energy and dollars spent in the day to day life of the spouses, nor may it effect full compensation for the economic losses in every case. Rather, it involves the development of parameters with which to assess the respective advantages and disadvantages of the spouses as a result of their roles in the marriage, as the starting point in determining the degree of support to be awarded." See: Moge v. Moge supra.
