In this family law trial, the court granted a divorce, denied ongoing spousal support, accepted equal division of limited property and debt, and assigned no market value to the parties’ corporations.
Family property, debt and spousal support were disputed after a 20-year marriage. The court enforced a family home agreement, denied support, and ordered compensation payments.
The court determined support, property division, debt allocation and parenting issues in this family law trial, including a start date for the relationship, income imputation and ongoing spousal support.
The court allowed a mother to relocate a young child from Vancouver to Scotland, finding the move was made in good faith and supported by workable contact arrangements.
Because the petitioner relocated to a jurisdiction unlikely to enforce foreign support orders and failed to comply with disclosure and participation obligations, the court exercised its discretion to award a reduced lump sum spousal support of $20,064 combined with a periodic support award and to award costs of $5,000 under Tariff A, Scale 2 with an addition for hearing time.
