What is the effect of a court's decision to extend spousal support obligation and future review by nine months?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from K.D. v. N.D., 2011 BCCA 513 (CanLII):
The decision of the chambers judge to extend the appellant’s spousal support obligation and the future review by nine months properly accommodated that incapacity. In my view, her order represents an appropriate application of the principles of non-compensatory spousal support established in Bracklow v. Bracklow, 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 420, 169 D.L.R. (4th) 577, and served the objectives of spousal support set out in s. 17(7) of the Act.
