What is the test for determining whether a spouse has met the statutory support obligation set out in s. 15.2(6)?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mayer v. Mayer, 2013 ONSC 7099 (CanLII):
None of the four statutory support objectives set out in s. 15.2(6) is paramount. All must be considered (see Bracklow v. Bracklow, 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 420, at para. 35 [Bracklow]). The judge must consider the factors set out in s. 15.2(4) in light of those objectives “and exercise his or her discretion in a manner that equitably alleviates the adverse consequences of the marriage breakdown” (para. 36).
