The court found that both were well-represented and neither suffered unexpected prejudice from the court's decision.

Consequently, the court directed that each party shall bear their own costs of the application.

This ruling on application addresses the equalization of net family properties and spousal support following the separation of a couple married for nearly 30 years.

The court determined the separation date as 2010, despite conflicting evidence, and proceeded to divide assets to ensure financial security for both parties.

The applicant was awarded the matrimonial home, a global support payment, and an equal share of proceeds from a Portuguese property, while the respondent retained an income-generating property.
