B.C. Court turns unfaithful U.K. Man's "mistake" into a 'nightmare.'

The story of E.S. and G.W. G.W. Is an unfaithful husband from the U.K. who engaged in a relationshp with E.S. whose court claim is G.W. is the father of her child and she has the right to pursue retroactive child support, something G.W. has refused to accept and doesn't want his marriage to be negatively affected by his behaviour. A B.C. Judge has granted E.S. a document which will allow her to pursue $100,000 in retroactive child support in a British court.

Our guest says this is also a message for women who have not pursued child support and perhaps because the father has been threatening.

We will also return to a term our guest introduced two week ago on the program and which most listeners had never heard before:  "Marriage-like." This is how an unofficial relationship which goes on for some time, even with both parties living in separate homes can be deemed by a court to be "marriage-like" and requiring settlement of assets on breakup as the court would in a disolved marriage claim.

Guest: Scott Taylor. Family lawyer (Taylor Law Group) in Langley, B.C.
