Legal Anomaly?

Is it really a legal anomaly that Canada's family laws don't consider the marital misconduct of a spouse who claims spousal support when determining that spouse's entitlement to support?

Or just the best available public policy?

    This is indeed one of the cases that got caught in gaps of our legal system.

    I had a conversation with a senior family lawyer today about this case. We both think given the right argument, it has a chance of being reversed on the appellate level.
