What is the case law on the value of a homemaker's contribution to a husband's income?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kopunovic v. Cukotic-Kopunovic, 1996 CanLII 8076 (ON SC):
I have reviewed many cases and especially those involving short relationships. It is apparent the assessments are specific to the varying circumstances. I also understand the recent judgments in Moge v. Moge and Peter v. Beblow to be a directive to give greater pecuniary value to homemaker contributions than courts have done in the past.
