What is the impact of the applicant's career path impaired through the marriage?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from S.D. v. T.D., 2012 ONSC 503 (CanLII):

As such, I can easily find that the applicant’s career path was impaired through the marriage, both because the applicant moved to Canada and gave up her employment in the United States, as well as the fact that the respective roles played within the marriage were such that the applicant was left at an economic disadvantage at the end of the marriage. This is reflected in the discrepancy between the parties’ incomes as noted above. Moreover, the move to Canada was presumably to the advantage of the respondent, who has made a career for himself in Canada. Similarly, the applicant’s homemaking was to the advantage of the respondent, however unappreciative he may have been of the quality of house care by the applicant. These claims constitute both claims for non-specific compensatory support and specific calculable advantages and disadvantages: see the delineations set out in Beneteau v. Young, [2009] O.J. No. 3244 (S.C.J.).
