What is the effect of a long-term disability on the wife's ability to retain her home?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Wilson v. Newcomb, 1998 CanLII 6543 (BC CA):

Furthermore, having regard to the matters sworn to by the wife, there clearly has been a serious degree of preju­dice to her of the kind referred to by the Chief Justice in Frew v. Roberts, supra. Her circumstances have deteriorated since trial. I accept that it is vital to her well-being that the question whether she can retain the house be settled as soon as poss­ible.
