Property Division for Married Couples in Ontario<\/h2>\n
In Ontario, married spouses divide property according to the equalization of net family property (NFP) under the Family Law Act.

Key elements of this process include:<\/p>\n
\n- Valuing assets and debts<\/strong> on the date of marriage and date of separation<\/li>\n
- Calculating Net Family Property<\/strong> for each spouse<\/li>\n
- Determining equalization payments<\/strong> owed by the higher-net spouse to the other<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Commonly divided assets include:<\/p>\n
\n- Matrimonial home (cannot be excluded from division)<\/li>\n
- Bank accounts and savings<\/li>\n
- RRSPs, pensions, and investments<\/li>\n
- Vehicles and personal property<\/li>\n
- Real estate and rental properties<\/li>\n
- Business interests<\/li>\n
- Debts and liabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
