British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from P.J.C. v. J.M.D., 2003 BCSC 611 (CanLII):

The factors to be considered in addressing the question include: the nature of the relationship, the provision of financial support, and the contributions made by each party to the relationship. A fundamental question is whether one party's expectation to share in the other's property is legitimate, see Korman v. Taylor, supra.
