BC SPOUSAL SUPPORT CASE GOES TO SUPREME COURT OF CANADA

Spousal Support

The hard working BC family law and BC divorce law lawyers at the MacLean Family Law Group (www.bcfamilylaw.ca) are heading to the Supreme Court of Canada on a huge BC spousal support case dealing with spousal support and misconduct, spousal support and how family assets should be considered in spousal support issues, spousal support and the duty of self sufficiency, and spousal support and how spousal support orders can be reviewed once they are made. Canadians, the media and academics are waiting to see if spousal misconduct can be properly considered in Canadian divorce cases as it was previously thought Canada had no fault divorce laws.

Mr. MacLean, lead counsel for Mr. Leskun is now 2 for 2 on applications to obtain leave to the Supreme Court of Canada and looks forward to leading the MacLean Family Law Group on the upcoming February 15, 2006 hearing in the Supreme Court of Canada. The result will have a huge impact on how BC and Canadian spousal support cases are dealt with in the future and could very well alter the Spousal Support advisory guidelines.
