What is the effect of dissipation on the distribution of the family property?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Carruthers v Carruthers, 2019 SKQB 7 (CanLII):
If a court finds dissipation has occurred, it has additional powers with respect to the distribution of the family property, depending on whether the dissipation is found pursuant to s. 21 and/or s. 28 of the Act. It is also possible that dissipation may amount to an extraordinary circumstance under s. 22 of the Act allowing an unequal division of the family home (See: Phillips v. Phillips [2010 SKCA 117], at paras. 28 and 29).
