Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Black v. Black, 1981 CanLII 2794 (NS SC):

The above remarks of the Chief Justice were obiter dicta and were apparently not made with conviction judging from the phrases used in that paragraph. It is to be noted that the principal issue in Connelly v. Connelly was the extent to which "blame" is to be considered on the question of maintenance.
