British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Thiel v. Thiel, 1998 CanLII 5218 (BC SC):
Counsel for the respondent submits Anderson v. Anderson (28 February 1997) New Westminster D020221 (B.C.S.C.) as authority for the proposition that where the child, through no misconduct on the part of the parent, has chosen to virtually terminate any relationship with the parent, the child cannot expect indefinite and unqualified support without expending the effort to maintain the reciprocal bonds of respect and affect natural between father and child.
