Family law trial addressing the date of separation, equalization of net family property, and entitlement to child and spousal support.
The court found the parties separated in February 2009 when the respondent informed the applicant the marriage was over while she was in Tanzania with the children.
Based on incomplete financial disclosure, the court calculated the parties’ net family properties and ordered an equalization payment to the applicant.
The court declined to impute income to the applicant under s.19(1) of the Child Support Guidelines, finding she was not intentionally under‑employed due to caregiving responsibilities and serious health issues.
Spousal support and set‑off child support were ordered, along with payment for extraordinary expenses.
