British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Brunt-Tompsett v. Brunt-Tompsett, 1996 CanLII 3307 (BC SC):
The causal connection between the change in circumstances which arose after separation and the marriage is found in the person and needs of Jason. His needs were not newly arisen but the pattern of meeting them was. Pelech v. Pelech (1987) 1987 CanLII 57 (SCC), 7 R.F.L. (3d) 225 set the course for the applicable law.
