How has the court considered “relationship by blood” in the context of an application for spousal support?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jones v. Jones, 2013 ONCJ 383 (CanLII):
[47] The court must also consider the “relationship by blood” of each person involved in the application. As this court noted in Pittman v. Cunning (above), there is an “emphasis on family and biological connection but it is also coupled with the importance of examining what a parent is `bringing to the table’ that will address the child’s best interests” (page 14).
