How is property divided between two spouses in a divorce in Ontario?

[@bobboby2400]

May the men on here be saved and blessed to protect them from the evil.

I’m a women and it’s been the reverse in my marriage I make more I pay all our bills and he steals the rest from me and I never got any money for myself and I’ll probably have to pay him support cause I make more even though he stole every penny from me happens both way

​@WhiskeyJaneSOS sorry to hear that! Yeah essentially the law screws over the one doing better, could be either gender

Don't cheat and try and take your man's property he worked hard for it.

[@AndrewDaniele87]

So if I get married, we handle all bills in a joint account but keep our personal accounts, i save like crazy from my income, and she spends like crazy from her income ... i have to give half of my savings to her if we split? Does a prenup protect this?

[@ronrocheleau6303]

This is great video thanks my friend is just going through this as his wife wants to leave the marriage and he just doesn’t know what to do next. Thanks allot this will help him

[@ClearWayFamilyLawyers]

Thanks for making these videos Mr. Siegel. They are great for the public.

[@marciacosta3252]

Hello Siegel. I like your video and your explanation, yet, I am in doubt about the 'equalization" you said that "take a picture of the date of marriage and the date of separation. Does that count the time we lived together before marriage? Me and my husband lived together 2 years before the marriage. Marcia Schnarr, On-Canada

[@Keepcool233]

What is the couple got married in a foreign country and then came to Canada Ontario lived for sometime and then filed for separation together? How does equalization work here?

[@mgtow-balance3409]

all of these bitchass videos never talk about how anti-male this system is. the fact that all these (supposedly male) lawyers don't ever talk about protecting men, tells you they don't give a fuck about men either

[@bobboby2400]

Horrible situation the system is broken and unfortunately your father is going to be treated unfairly buy the system and your mother. Maybe you could do some talking to her.

[@chuckandimeforeve]

so if I owned My marital home before the divorce it still won't be deducted?

[@jannatrandhawa4054]

What if one of them get property from their parents after marriage. Did that get separated too ?

[@luckylucciani8534]

What if I am gifted a house from my family before the date of marriage. (deduction), but then the spouse lives in the home later on (we decide to move into the gifted house). i understand that becomes a matrimonial home now, but can a Marriage contract be made so she is still not able to claim any part of that gifted home to me? Like we live in it together but have a marriage contract that says it still does not belong to her and she is aware of that? Thank you, useful video!

Hi I have a question.... If I own a house before I get married and than get married than divorce after years will my wife get half of the house that I bought and put under my name ??? Thanks!

[@ssyed4414]

I have the same question..did you get an answer for this yet? Please let me know if you do.Thanks

[@johnc.8298]

He basically said yes when he was discussing a house you owned prior to marriage. If you both lived in it, it is considered the "matrimonial home". It seems to me "she" is entitled to half of the matrimonial home or its value thereof.

[@sm-bd1bz]

@@johnc.8298 even if she doesn't live with me in the house?

[@johnc.8298]

@@sm-bd1bz In such a case it's not the "matrimonial home". From what I understand, if you don't bring it into the relationship, it is not "common property". Since I kept my inheritance separate from our joint assets, she couldn't touch it. This lawyer calls this an "exclusion".

[@johnc.8298]

Yep. She's entitled to half. Recall the Bezo's/Amazon divorce?

[@bagelboy420]

I know ur pain.

[@johnc.8298]

The problems occur when you allow the gov't into your private life. There should be no common-law "marriage". Either you soberly decide to marry or you don't. Just because you choose to share a house/bed with someone is not the same as signing a contract. The gov't has imposed itself into someone else's living arrangements. Words to the wise; no marrying, shacking up, or L.T.R.'s., and definitely don't get involved with someone with kids. You will be on the hook and considered a party to a "contract" and you could lose half your stuff if "she" goes south.

[@gondolacrescent5]

In spite of your comments editing about 11 months ago, it remains a well-written declaration of some of the stupidest ideas and statements I’ve ever read….

[@gondolacrescent5]

If you don’t like Ontario Family Law, you should live in another jurisdiction. There, you will discover the laws in place for divorce provide you and your ex with roughly the same. No one wins at divorce. The best to be hoped for is that both parties walk away, equally disappointed with their new station in life.

[@gondolacrescent5]

The government wants nothing to do with your private life. The laws of our jurisdiction have been in place since 1783 and everyone within it is subject to them, whether they like it or not. The solution you provide is Anarchy.

You could have them sign up prenuptial agreement. They will resist but just keep insisting that there's no choice. Spread the word of it for men to protect themselves. It's more handy than a condom.

[@bobboby2400]

A prenuptial agreement to a woman is like kryptonite. Not even Superman could stop it. Don't ever entertain marriage without it. Even letting a woman be in your home I would have her sign a contract.

[@firstlast7719]

Totally incorrect, in common-law you will be SCREWED! I have my own 20 year relationship as an example, ended with Net Family Property for her was $200,000 more than myself. I did not get $100,000 equalization. I got Zero. Nothing. Zilch. Under common-law in Ontario you need to be able to prove a constructive trust for unjust enrichment. It would mean tens of thousands more in legal fees without any certainty you would recover the difference and legal fees. On top of that, if you lose you might also have to pay legals for the other party. So be careful. If you are not married and your common-law spouse has a greater increase in Net Family Property you could be left with nothing. Common-law rules suck, they are unfair and unlike Manitoba, in Ontario you will be screwed!!!

[@gu3sswh075]

Well if they're not your assets, you're not entitled to anything. It seems as if you had nothing to gain. Sucks for you to have to go through this but why should the laws be any different. Don't be mad at your ex for having different career goals than you....

This is a set up interview for him to get business. He messed up my wife equalization by 60 k credit due to het. I found the error and my lawyer notified him. My best advice to each and every one. If no cheating or violence involved I beg each of you not to go for separation. It is not worth. Counseling garage. Both parties will come to the street. Believe me. Leave your ego. Even if you have to hold the legs of your wife or husband do it. Nothing wrong. End of the it is your wife or husband. Please i beg you l don't break up the marriage. I beg every one. Go for medication and improve your mental health. If any want talk to me please send me an email. Though I have have lawyer i dealing with this guy and also with the coury. Please please I beg you all 🙏 don't break up your marriage. Give her lots love and she will be fine.
