Following a family trial after the parties resolved custody and access, the court determined remaining issues concerning spousal support, section 7 expenses, retroactive child support, and equalization of property.
The applicant's claim for spousal support was dismissed because the respondent's tax-free structured settlement payments arising from catastrophic personal injury were not treated as income for that purpose.
The court fixed the applicant's section 7 contributions at modest amounts for 2013 and 2014, dismissed the respondent's retroactive child support claim for lack of sufficient income evidence, and rejected claims for unequal division of the matrimonial home and jointly held shares under s. 5(6)(h) of the Family Law Act.
Equal division of the home's net proceeds and the shares was ordered.
