When will a husband and wife agree to a 50% income split?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kingsley v. Kingsley, 2006 CanLII 19038 (ON SC):
In Huszarik v. Fairfield, [2004] O.J. No. 3957, Blishen J. approached the question by going back to the separation agreement. She noted that the parties had originally agreed to split income 56 % - 44 %, husband to wife. The court reduced the support consistent with the percentage income split the parties had originally contemplated. This approach is compelling, however, I cannot discern the intention of the parties in this regard from the separation agreement. Order
