Applying s.7 factors, the court found both parties have comparable earning capacity and current incomes sufficient to meet their own post-separation needs; applicant's expenses were assessed as overstated and capable of reasonable reduction; respondent already bears the child's full living costs which effectively offsets his nominal surplus. On that basis the court concluded respondent is not required to pay periodic spousal maintenance and dismissed the applicant's claim.
