The parties separated after a long marriage involving multiple relocations between Latvia and Canada.
The husband sought equalization of net family property, child support, and spousal support.
The wife argued that a marriage contract signed in Latvia excluded her property from equalization.
The court found that while a marriage contract existed, its language did not explicitly or implicitly exclude the equalization provisions of the Family Law Act.
The court valued the parties' foreign and domestic assets, ordering the wife to pay an equalization payment of $71,633.50 in installments.
The wife was granted sole custody of the youngest child, and the husband was ordered to pay $174 monthly in child support based on an imputed minimum wage income.
