Property Division In Divorce

Summary

In Ontario, property division during divorce is based on equalizing net family property, meaning each spouse is entitled to half the value of family property accumulated during the marriage, regardless of who paid the mortgage. Property bought during the marriage is typically included in this calculation, even if purchased with funds earned before marriage. Consider any prenuptial agreements or legal documents that may affect property division.
