The following excerpt is from Haney v. Haney, 2005 CanLII 19835 (ON SC):
No one objective is of overriding importance. Further, it is clear that, if any one of the statutory objectives is relevant on the facts of a case, the spouse is entitled to support. (See: Bracklow v Bracklow, (1999) 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), 44 R.F.L. (4th) 1, (S.C.C.); Moge v. Moge (1992), 1992 CanLII 25 (SCC), 43 R.F.L. (3d) 345 (S.C.C.).)
