What is the legal test for an indefinite order of spousal support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from H.L.U. v. R.C.U., 2015 BCSC 313 (CanLII):
As Dardi J. observed in L.F. at para. 184, there is no “magical cut-off date” for the duration of spousal support. In a case, such as this, involving a lengthy marriage and the establishment of a clear entitlement to spousal support, the weight of authorities favours an indefinite order: Bockhold v. Bockhold, 2010 BCSC 214 at para. 56.
