Is there a fact situation in which a husband's wife loses her future dream and the wife's middle class lifestyle?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from O’Dowd v. O’Dowd, 2018 ONSC 211 (CanLII):

This is not a fact situation similar to that in Fisher v. Fisher, supra, where the wife “lost not only her future dream and the large financial salary increase in which she was led to believe she would share, but she also lost the comfortable middle class lifestyle to which they both had been accustomed” (para. 47).
