Difference between revisions of "Dividing Property and Debt in Family Law Matters"

Under s. 90, the court can make an order that one spouse have the exclusive right to live in the family home and use the property kept at the family home. The court will make these orders if it's no longer possible for the spouses to share the home and if the convenience to the spouse who's staying in the home outweighs the inconvenience to the spouse who's being made to leave.

Under s. 91(2)(a), the court can make other orders "for the possession, delivery, safekeeping and preservation of property." This might include orders that a spouse must return personal property to the other spouse or that a spouse will have the sole use of personal property, like a car that's necessary to go to work or take the kids to school.
