Following a family law trial, the court determined issues of equalization of net family property, child support, and spousal support after a 13‑year marriage with two children.
The respondent sought an unequal division of property under s. 5(6) of the Family Law Act, alleging financial misconduct and depletion of assets by the applicant.
The court rejected the claim for unequal division, finding the evidence did not meet the high threshold of unconscionability required by the statute.
The court calculated the parties’ net family property and ordered an equalization payment, while declining to award spousal support due to the applicant’s extensive post‑separation payments toward household expenses.
Child support arrears and ongoing child support were ordered along with proportionate sharing of section 7 expenses.
