Stebbins would find himself in trouble for desertion and non-support of his wife from June 1951 to December 1951 and would then threaten to cut off her allowance if she did not move to Petawawa and live with him, which she refused to do. His wife’s solicitors would then be in contact with the authorities to see if her government allowance would be cut off if she refused to live with him.
