What is the test for terminating spousal support?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Alalouf v. Sumar, 2019 ONCA 611 (CanLII):

In terms of the duration of the spousal support order, the trial judge said, at para. 203, that “[t]here is no basis for a termination of spousal support at this time.” Relying on Leskun v. Leskun, 2006 SCC 25, [2006] 1 S.C.R. 920, the trial judge declined to set a date upon which spousal support could be reviewed, leaving it to the parties to trigger a motion to vary based on a material change of circumstances: at paras. 207-208. We see no error in this approach.
