What are dispositional costs for a matrimonial home?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Burke v Burke, 2017 ONSC 4046 (CanLII):

In my view, dispositional costs for the matrimonial home are not appropriate in this case. There is no evidence that the home is likely to be sold in the foreseeable future. There is no evidence that the operating expenses for the home are in arrears or that the applicant will be unable to afford the home going forward. While I accept that the applicant will sell it at some point in the future, and that there will be some expenses for real estate fees incurred at that time, these are speculative at this point: Oskalns v. Oskalne, [2016] ONSC 4428 at paras. 67-69.
