British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kanizaj v. Krcmar, 2016 BCSC 375 (CanLII):
The case law speaks of entitlement on the basis of compensatory, non-compensatory, and contractual support: see, e.g., Bracklow v. Bracklow, 1999 CanLII 715 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 420 at paras. 15, 35, 37, 43. The third category is not applicable because the parties did not enter into a separation agreement.
