Is a father entitled to spousal and/or child support from the time of the parties’ separation?

As noted earlier, the father paid child support voluntarily from the time of the parties’ separation. He did so even during periods when he had no, or only limited, contact with C. He did not engage in any blameworthy conduct and as noted in Kerr v. Baranow “… there is no presumptive entitlement to spousal support and, unlike child support, the spouse in general is not under any legal obligation to look out for the separated spouse’s interests.” (paragraph 208)
