'Faint hope case for men with money': Judge cuts off Sask. woman's spousal support

[dad2bandm]

In a decision published on March 1, Judge Kenneth Hood sided with Kevin Choquette, 62, explaining the reason he’s stripping Yvonne Choquette, 62, of what amounts to nearly 100 per cent of her income is because she’s made “no effort” to become self-sufficient.

This is like a "man bites dog" story.

... and faint hope makes it sounds like paying support and being a mass murderer are in the same category of felonies.

I agree with this decision. The couple were relatively young when they separated and 'rule of 65' didn't come into play. I am surprised the husband didn't try to end the SS many years ago. Also surprised he didn't have CS factored in at the time he took custody of children.
