Equalization Payment Methods under the Family Law Act
When it comes to dividing property between spouses after a separation or divorce, the Family Law Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. F.3, provides a legal framework for equalization. This system does not entitle either spouse to specific assets, but instead gives the spouse with a lower net family property a monetary equalization payment. This post will explore the various methods available for making this payment, their potential tax implications and the flexibility allowed under the Act.
