Is a respondent entitled to mid-range support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.P.L. v I.G.L., 2017 BCSC 2443 (CanLII):
The respondent argues that this was a long term marriage. She points to para. 84 in Moge v. Moge, 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), [1992] 3 S.C.R. 813 for the proposition that the parties should have an equal lifestyle. This she argues can only be had if she receives mid-range support.
