Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

The applicant, Ms. Savoie, filed a petition for divorce in which the main issues were support for her and the division of property and debts. The Court of Queen’s Bench made orders granting a divorce, requiring the respondent, Mr. Savoie, to pay Ms. Savoie $11,200 a month in support as of September 1, 2015 and for an indefinite period, and providing for the equal division of property and debts. Ms. Savoie appealed, and Mr. Savoie filed a cross-appeal. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and the cross-appeal, as it was of the view that the trial judge’s reasons were complete and contain no error.
