What is the case of a married woman who, as a result of her long-term relationship with another husband, is entitled to maintenance?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Clayton v. Clayton, 1995 CanLII 2979 (BC SC):
8 Her income, however, is low; and it is unrealistic to suppose that she will ever be able to raise it by herself so as to provide for a standard of living comparable to that which she had during the cohabitation attendant on her marriage. She is in need of maintenance on a permanent basis: Story v. Story, op.cit. Such should raise her income to something more than bare subsistence.
