Does a post-separation increase in income after a separation constitute a material change in circumstances?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Dupuis v. Dupuis, 2017 MBQB 57 (CanLII):
The petitioner argued that his “post-separation” increases to income should not be considered in determining whether there has been a material change in circumstances. In doing so he relied heavily on the Ontario decision of Thompson v. Thompson, 2013 ONSC 5500.
