How much has the respondent increased his assets and income from the date of the registrar's hearing in 1979?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ciarniello v. Ciarniello, 1988 CanLII 3389 (BC SC):
The assets of the respondent appear to have more than doubled from the date of the registrar’s hearing in 1979. The respondent’s income from his practice and investments has also increased since the date of the last order. He has been generous in providing financial assistance directly to the children, but there is no indication that he has not had sufficient remaining funds to provide a reasonable lifestyle for himself and his new family, in addition to the maintenance he has paid. However, the increase in the respondent’s income and assets would not necessarily warrant an increase in spousal maintenance: see Marcus v. Marcus, [1974] 4 W.W.R. 458 (B.C.C.A.)
