The applicant and respondent disputed the valuation date for the equalization of their net family property.
The applicant argued the date of separation was July 15, 2014, while the respondent argued they began living separate and apart under the same roof in the summer of 2011.
The court applied the criteria for living separate and apart and found that the parties continued to cohabit, share meals, and engage in sexual relations until mid-2014.
The court determined the valuation date to be July 15, 2014, when the respondent definitively refused marriage counselling.
