Woman Who Shot And Almost Killed Husband Is Now Suing For Support

The Star from Canada is reporting that a woman who served two years in prison for shooting and almost killing her husband is now trying to sue him for alimony. "That she shot her husband in the face may be a moot point when determining support, since Canada's Divorce Act is 'no fault' and does not take prior conduct into consideration. Nor is there any statute of limitations for filing a claim." Her ex-husband is quoted as saying, "All I want her to do is back off, leave me alone. I still get headaches. I still have a bullet in the back of my spine."Source: The Star [Toronto, Canada newspaper]
