British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Carter v. Carter, 2009 BCSC 1152 (CanLII):
Taylor J.A. stated earlier, at para. 38: The emphasis of the “compensatory” approach, adopted in Moge v. Moge with respect to periodic maintenance under the Divorce Act, and in Lodge v. Lodge with respect to reapportionment of family assets under the Family Relations Act, is in both cases on a wife’s loss of opportunity to acquire or advance in a calling, suffered as a result not simply of the marriage but rather of unequal assumption of child-raising and housekeeping duties during the marriage, and her consequently diminished or limited earning capacity on marriage breakup.
