What is the effect of having two separate spouses?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Janus v. Lachocki Estate, 2001 BCSC 1702 (CanLII):
Harris v. Willie Estate [2001] B.C.J. No. 169, a decision of Parrett J. bears some factual similarity to the present circumstances in that the parties spent a good deal of time together but each maintained their separate residence. It differs in many aspects, however, including in Harris v. Willie Estate, supra, neither party was interested in the possibility of being married to the other.
