How have the courts dealt with the issue of housekeeping allowance in the context of a separation claim?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Stetz v. Stetz, 1946 CanLII 199 (SK CA):
To controvert such evidence it seems to me that the onus rested upon the defendant to prove that she did not earn the above sum or that she spent it otherwise and so to give ground for the inference that the purchase-price came out of the government moneys. Thus in Blackwell v. Blackwell [1943] 2 All E.R. 579, a husband, after separating from his wife, only succeeded in substantiating his claim to a considerable sum of money which stood to her credit in the books of a co-operative society by establishing his allegation that it represented money saved by her from the housekeeping allowance which, he had made her.
