Understanding Property Division in Ontario

Property division is one of the most complex aspects of separation or divorce. Under Ontario law, married spouses generally share the increase in value of their property accumulated during the marriage through the process known as equalization of net family property.

At Mann Law, we help clients understand their rights and obligations, accurately value assets and debts, and reach fair resolutions while protecting their financial future.

Key Considerations in Property Division

• Date of marriage and date of separation
• Value of assets and debts at both dates
• Matrimonial home rules and exclusions
• Business ownership and professional practices
• Pensions, RRSPs, and investment accounts
• Domestic contracts (marriage or cohabitation agreements)
