What is the test for a claimant's claim for spousal support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from T.N. v B.N., 2018 BCSC 201 (CanLII):
The claimant relies primarily on Moge v. Moge, 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 813 [Moge] in support of her argument that she is still suffering the consequences arising from both the role she played in the marriage and the breakdown of the marriage. She submits that she is still entitled to compensatory spousal support even though her current income meets her present needs.
