What is the impact of income inequality on entitlement claims?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from G.P. v. M.P., 2015 BCSC 1757 (CanLII):
Although it is a consideration, disparity in incomes between the parties alone does not create entitlement (Lee v. Lee, 2014 BCCA 383, 362 B.C.A.C. 110). The court must instead consider why there is an income disparity.
