What is the impact of a husband's actions on the career prospects of his wife?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Harman v. Harman, 1997 CanLII 1169 (BC SC):

Counsel for the husband cited Kennedy v. Kennedy (1996), 98 B.C.L.R. (2d) 287 (S.C.), in which Newbury J. (as she then was) engaged in somewhat the same scrutiny of the situation of the wife as counsel for the husband invites me to do. In Kennedy, Newbury J. found that there was little indication of a blighting of the wife's career. I have come to somewhat the same conclusion here.
