Legal support for property division and equalization of net family property under Ontario family law.
Equalization can involve many moving pieces — disclosure, valuation, and characterization of property all matter.
Ontario uses an equalization-of-net-family-property approach under the Family Law Act for married spouses. The framework involves identifying assets and debts at the date of marriage and the date of separation, with special treatment for the matrimonial home. Common-law partners are treated differently and may need to rely on other legal claims.
Complete and accurate disclosure of assets, debts, business interests, and supporting documents is fundamental. Valuation issues — particularly for businesses, pensions, and real estate — may require expert input. Our extended client support structure assists with organizing this information for counsel’s review.
