British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Johnson v. Johnson Vancouver, 2000 BCSC 1504 (CanLII):
The primary basis for the reapportionment I have ordered in favour of the wife is to compensate her for the financial consequences which have arisen from her child care responsibilities, and to recognize the economic disadvantage she has experienced by remaining out of the work force for six years and by working part-time only for nine years: Moge v. Moge (1992), 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), 43 R.F.L. (3d) 345 (S.C.C.) at paragraphs 70-72, 79-81.
