Married spouses are entitled under our Family Law Act to an equalization of net family property. This is based on the premise that marriage is a joint contribution and both spouses should walk away with an equal amount. I can help you determine the calculation and potential equalization payment. If you are not married, then there are no current rights to equalization; however there may still be some interest in a common law spouse’s property through a constructive trust. We can discuss whether this situation may apply to you.
