What is the impact of having an education, career and pension entitlement on a married couple?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Rushton v. Rushton, 2002 ABQB 1074 (CanLII):

As I have previously mentioned, this marriage is somewhat unusual, in that the Applicant was able to leave the marriage with an education, a career, and some pension entitlement. The more common situation is that the primary caregiver has no education, no career, and no real opportunities for employment: see for example the situation in Moge v. Moge.
