The Court held relationship property must be valued at the date of separation using truly comparable values; on that basis the parties' financial contributions were roughly equal and the prerequisite for unequal sharing under s 14(2)(c) was not satisfied, so the Family Court's unequal division was set aside and recalculations produced an order for the respondent to pay the appellant $22,000 while retaining her post-separation proceeds from Woodbury.
