Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Simpson Estate (Re), 1941 CanLII 158 (SK QB):
See also Birkett v. Birkett (1908) 98 L.T. 540, where the husband when in England was in the habit of giving his wife all he earned, receiving back such sums as he required when he asked her for money; that after he went out to South Africa he remitted money to her for the maintenance of herself and family without any instructions as to what she should do with the surplus. Later they separated. It was held that the savings from the moneys remitted belonged to the husband.
