What is the test for a time-limited order to provide transitional support for the wife?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Potvin v. Potvin, 2001 CanLII 28144 (ON SC):
24 In my view, this is not an occasion for a time-limited order. The courts recognize that in some cases “transitional support allowing for full and unimpaired reintegration back into the labour force might be all that is required to afford sufficient compensation”, p. 861, Moge v. Moge, supra, per L’Heureux-Dubé. However, the court cannot foresee at this time, the opportunity for the wife to gain “full and unimpaired” re-entry into the workplace in her present circumstances.
