Here is your daily Law Fact from Wise Law for Monday March 14, 2016. Today we are talking about Family Law.
The property rights of common law spouses are
not governed by the FLA. Common law
spouses may nonetheless have significant family property claims, particularly
where property has been acquired in a “joint
family venture,” or they have otherwise contributed to the acquisition,
maintenance or improvement of property owned by their common law spouses.
Ontario’s Family Law Act (FLA) governs the
equalization and division of property between spouses upon marital separation.
It applies only to spouses who are legally married.
