The parties separated after a 25-year marriage.
The respondent obtained a divorce in Greece, while the applicant commenced proceedings in Ontario for property division and spousal support.
Applying Greek law to the property division, the court determined the incremental increase in each party's assets and ordered the respondent to pay the applicant an equalization payment of $63,284.18, plus $50,000 for her share of their jointly owned yacht.
The court dismissed the applicant's claim for spousal support, finding that under the Divorce Act, an Ontario court lacks jurisdiction to grant corollary relief once a foreign divorce has been granted, and alternatively, that there was no entitlement to support.
