Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Zhang v. Mackay, 2017 ONSC 6340 (CanLII):

Again, unlike this case, Gidey v. Abay was a motion for interim support. The court ordered less support than the wife requested, noting that the wife had been able to generate some employment income in Canada, notwithstanding her lack of fluency in English. Lina’s ability to generate income in Canada is discussed below.
