You Deserve The Best Property Division Lawyers
In Surrey
Married spouses who choose to end their marriage are legally entitled to a division of the property that they have accumulated jointly during the marriage. This process is known as the equalization of net family property. How property is divided
In B.C., the rules about the division of family property apply to both married couples and unmarried couples who have been living together in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years.
There are two categories of property:
● Family property
● Excluded property
When spouses separate, all family property is shared equally, unless the couple has an agreement that says something else. Family property is everything that you or your spouse owned separately or together on the date you separate. It does not matter whose name the family property is in.
When property can be divided unequally
A court will divide family property or debt unequally only if it would be “significantly unfair” to divide it equally. This means that a court will not order an unequal division in most cases. The court can look at a number of factors when deciding whether to divide property or debt unequally.
As well, a couple can divide their property or debt unequally by making an agreement. Families are become increasingly mobile. More and more couples will have spent time outside British Columbia during their relationship, and have property outside B.C.
When a legal issue crosses borders, it is difficult to know where a claim for property division can or should be made (jurisdiction) and which province, state or country’s law governs the resolution of the dispute (choice of law).
The Family Law Act provides for rules in these cases. However, because these issues are complicated, we recommend that you get legal advice before you make any final decisions about these issues.
