Following a 25‑year marriage, the parties disputed spousal support quantum, child support for an adult child, ownership of a Québec cottage property, and equalization of net family property.
The court determined the separation and valuation date and addressed spousal support using the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines in circumstances where the payor’s income exceeded $350,000.
Income was imputed to the recipient spouse due to limited job‑search efforts, and spousal support was fixed with a future review.
The court found unjust enrichment principles potentially supported a proprietary claim by the respondent in the cottage property but held that Ontario lacked jurisdiction to determine title to land in Québec.
A temporary stay of the equalization calculation was ordered pending resolution of the Québec ownership proceeding.
