All Counsel for the Respondent: S. Beesley Written Submissions of the Respondent Received: May 19, 2017 Written Submissions of the Claimant Received: May 26, 2017 Place and Date of Supplementary Reasons for Judgment: Vancouver, B.C. June 20, 2017 Introduction [1] In my Reasons for Judgment on the summary trial dated May 15, 2017, I reserved the decision regarding the division of the respondent's RRSP pending further information from the parties. [2] I have since received that information. This ruling deals with the division of the RRSP.

RRSP [3] The claimant seeks half of the respondent's RRSP. [4] The respondent agrees to an equal division of her RRSP provided that the respondent's share of the family debt she incurred post-separation is deducted from the claimant's share. The respondent calculates this to be $17,457.80 [5] The claimant argues that his share of the post-separation expenses was dealt with in the Consent Order reached between the parties regarding division of the family home. In that agreement the parties agreed that the home would be divided equally between them with a $20,000 adjustment in favour of the respondent. This adjustment was to account for the above-mentioned expenses. [6] Given that the post-separation expenses have been dealt with in the division of the family home, I order that the RRSP should be valued at the date of separation and divided equally between the parties. "The Honourable Madam Justice Murray"
