Summary

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.
