What is the impact of deceptive evidence on a finding that the payee spouse is not an employable?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.L.C. v R.G.C, 2021 BCSC 2386 (CanLII):
In Jordan v. Jordan, 2016 BCSC 1354, the payee spouse’s evidence of her alleged disability causing her to be unemployable was found to be deceptive, leading to a finding that she was somewhat employable. This was not determinative of the outcome. Rather the material change in circumstances arose out of the payor’s physical and mental limitations that limited his means to pay spousal support. Therefore spousal support was terminated: at paras. 59, 71, 75, 84.
