Righting society's 'wrongs'
The issue of spousal support has become riddled with the politics of political correctness, that is - feminist political correctness. While the feminist movement has done much to rectify historical inequalities between the genders, the discourse has now escalated.
Sources of the problem
I suggest that the problems we face now in family law are the result of two very significant social trends: 1. The legal education system is decidedly feminist in approach. Many judges are simply products of that system. 2. Society is permeated with myths and stereotypes about men and the effects of separation and divorce.
Death of contract
I believe that the Ontario Court of Appeal has recently confirmed, in the case of Miglin v. Miglin, what other cases have been telling us lately – the law has all but taken away the freedom to privately contract with respect to rights and responsibilities relating to spousal support
