What is the test for balancing the objectives of a spouse in a marriage where the husband and wife want to achieve the same objective?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from S.A.H. v I.B.L., 2018 BCSC 544 (CanLII):
As the court noted in Bracklow v. Bracklow, 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), [1999] 1 SCR 420, at para. 35, “[t]he objectives reflect the diverse dynamics of the many unique marital relationships.” No objective is paramount. All four objectives must be considered and balanced in the context of the circumstances of each case (Fisher v. Fisher, para. 34).
