What is the basis for a finding that support should be payable by one spouse to another?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Belisle v. Belisle, 2013 NSSC 16 (CanLII):

The basis for a finding that support should be payable by one spouse to another was discussed in detail in Burchill v. Savoie, 2008 NSSC 307. I incorporate that discussion into this decision.
