One of the most complicated and delicate matters our clients deal with after a separation or divorce is the division of property assets, as we at Gottlieb Family Law are aware. We offer clear, tactical advice based on Ontario's Family Law Act because of this.
In line with Section 4(1), "property" includes not just real estate but also personal assets, pensions, and even future interests. The law requires an equal share of assets earned during a marriage and respects each spouse's equal contribution. An equity payment may follow from this, which could be given slowly or all at once.
But not every asset is divided evenly. If not used for a marital residence, excluded property-such as assets or gifts from third parties-may not be subject to split. Additionally, if you contributed to your partner's property, you may still have a trust claim even though you are not entitled to parity as a common-law partner.
At Gottlieb Family Law, we precisely determine and appraise all marital and excluded assets in close collaboration with you. Our knowledgeable property asset division lawyers provide specialized tactics to protect your financial rights and enable you to proceed with trust.
