The matrimonial home is another exception to the general rules. The law provides that when your marriage ends, the value of the family home must be equally shared even if one of you owned the home before you were married, received it as a gift, or inherited it. This rule applies regardless of whose name is on the title deed, and it is designed to protect the fair rights of both spouses. In some situations, especially where children are involved, decisions about property are closely tied to parenting arrangements, making it essential to work with parenting decision-making lawyers in Toronto who can address both financial and custodial considerations.
