Canadian Supreme Court rules separation agreements

Garth writes "An Ontario judge and later the Ontario Court of Appeals ruled that a spouse should be able to reopen separation agreements simply by showing a material change of circumstance (meaning whenever you feel like it). Now, the Canadian Supreme Court has reversed that and what's more has also stated that judges should not "presume an imbalance of power" between a husband and wife. So, not only do agreements actually mean something now, but the court seems to making a point that husbands aren't always the bad guys."
