What is the impact of having a custodial parent on the calculation of spousal support?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from M.S. v. W.S., 2006 BCCA 391 (CanLII):
In particular, in considering spousal support, a court must consider the length of the cohabitation (s. 15.2(4)(a)) and the function of the parties during the marriage (s. 15.2(4)(b)). In looking at the economic disadvantages arising from the breakdown of the marriage (s. 15.2(6)(a)), any financially limiting consequences of a custodial parent's role is a relevant factor: Moge v. Moge.
