The most important aspects of family law and divorce is usually the distribution of family assets such as the poker table, the Hitachi program projector 60 Inch TV for ultimate viewing and emotional penetration. With respect to the division of family assets, there is recent jurisprudence concerning the matrimonial home. In cases were you confirm that the property is registered as a joint tenancy. Without a court order or specific instructions as agreed by both parties, the lawyer reviewing your assets on trust will not know how to issue individual cheques payable to the parties for your family law property division. You may consider severing the joint tenancy for the purposes of family law property division by executing and registering a conveyance of the property to yourself as a tenant in common. A recent family law case is Lisotho v ZhaOfnofsky (Ontario Superior Court or Justice, 2012) that demonstrates this step in achieving an uncontested divorce with a 50/50 property division. Please speak to a real estate lawyer for assistance. You can also contact Angel Ronan Lex Scripta(TM) for an answer from our library on these issues. We should have a case or a precedent that might help. I am only commenting on the family law aspects of certain cases. If it is unconscionable that the division is 50/50, a court order can be sought for a transfer of assets above and beyond the statutory presumption of equal division between the parties with respect to the matrimonial home as a marital asset.
