What is the limitation on the amount of time between the husband and wife when they are married?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Forler v. Forler, 1997 CanLII 1279 (ON CA):
The trial judge failed to consider the disparity between the earning ability of each former spouse . He failed to have regard to the fact that the wife, having married in a traditional arangement, was disadvantaged by it on an ongoing basis. See Moge v. Moge (1992), 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), 43 R.F.L. (3d) 345 at 395. We are of the opinion that it would be better for either party to bring a variation application if there is a change of circumstances. We would allow the appeal on this point and vary the judgment below by deleting the time limitation from paragraph five.
