This family law trial addressed property division and spousal support for unmarried spouses after a 20+ year cohabitation.
The court found a "joint family venture" existed from late 1994, recognizing the applicant's significant non-financial contributions and career sacrifices.
The family home and joint investments were ordered to be equally divided, with the respondent paying the applicant an equalization payment.
The court imputed income to the applicant for spousal support purposes due to inconsistent job search efforts post-separation, but also acknowledged her past caregiving responsibilities.
Indefinite spousal support was awarded to the applicant at the midpoint of the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines range, and child support termination dates were confirmed.
