What are the economic consequences of the breakdown of a marriage?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Murphy v. Murphy, 1994 CanLII 10965 (MB CA):
The principal argument of the wife, citing Moge v. Moge (1992), 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), 99 D.L.R. (4th) 456, [1992] 3 S.C.R. 813, 43 R.F.L. (3d) 345, is that the order of the motions court judge does not recognize the economic disadvantages to her arising from the marriage and its breakdown. Although evidence before the court relevant to the assessment of the economic consequences of the breakdown of the marriage is a virtual lacuna, I will assume for the purpose of considering the wife's argument that the marriage of the parties was a "traditional" one, and that, as a result, the wife's skills and benefits were curtailed.
