This divorce action involved the equalization of net family properties between the Applicant, Pamela Joan Peters, and the Respondent, Robert Ernest Colin Peters.
Key issues included the determination of whether the Colonization Road home was a matrimonial home, the valuation of various assets and debts at the date of marriage and separation, and the reimbursement for post-separation expenses paid by the Applicant.
The court found the Colonization Road home to be a matrimonial home, which prevented the Respondent from deducting its date of marriage value.
The court made specific findings on the values of household goods, trailers, tools, credit card debts, and other assets, and determined the amounts for post-separation expense reimbursements, ultimately ordering an equalization payment and further reimbursements to the Applicant.
