Is property always divided 50/50?
Not exactly — Ontario generally uses an equalization calculation based on each spouse’s net family property; the outcome depends on the circumstances.
Does it matter whose name the home is in?
The matrimonial home has special treatment in Ontario; we can explain how the rules may apply to you.
Do we need to go to court to divide property?
Not always — many couples resolve property issues by agreement.
