Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Shortt v. Shortt, 2021 ONSC 7301 (CanLII):
In fact, it is my view that the more appropriate response to the submission of Paul’s counsel on this point is that made by Justice D.J. Gordon at paragraph 158 of Toth v. Toth, 2015 ONSC 1174, where he wrote: “It would not be appropriate to reduce spousal support due to the use of [a parent’s] premises by adult children” who have modest incomes and who are paying their own bills.
