I was trying to search on CanLII, but perhaps I wasn't using the correct search terms. Essentially, I'm looking for case law regarding spousal and personal finance mismanagement.
We have a situation where the ex is getting approximately close to $10k a month combined SS and CS. One child, 50-50 parenting yet she still receives full table amount and 100% of Section 7 expenses.
We are seeking a reduction and eventual SS termination. 6 year common law relationship, SS has been paid for 3+ years. It is the ex's position that she is in dire financial need and her spousal should increase.
From what we can tell, she has spent every penny that she received from CS/SS and from equity she had in the house (she received 75% of the equity). 6-8 vacation trips a year, a poor real estate investment, and we're not sure what else. This was not her standard of life when they were together.
Is there any case law that covers when the person on SS has essentially bankrupted themselves post-separation? Especially one who came out of the relationship with substantial assets? Any help would be appreciated.
