Following the breakdown of a marriage with two children, the court determined unresolved issues relating to equalization of net family property, child support, spousal support, and various financial claims.
The court addressed whether mortgage payments made directly by the payor spouse as spousal support should generate a credit upon sale of the matrimonial home and concluded no such credit was warranted under the Family Law Act.
The court also resolved disputes regarding ownership and debt related to a recreational trailer, deductions for property owned at the date of marriage, and arrears of support.
An equalization payment was ordered, arrears of spousal support were fixed, child support obligations were adjusted following a change in the children’s residence, and the respondent’s claim relating to an improperly collapsed RESP was granted.
