How is a 64/36 division of the matrimonial home determined?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Young v. Young, 2009 BCCA 518 (CanLII):

The trial judge referred for guidance to Parhar v. Parhar, 2000 BCSC 1716, and Mather v. Mather, 2006 BCSC 393, where the matrimonial home was reapportioned 70/30 and 75/25 respectively in the wife’s favour. He noted that in the case at bar the husband had made a greater pre-marital contribution to the matrimonial home and he concluded that in all the circumstances a 64/36 division was fair.
