Does the fact that there is a provision allowing the wife and children to occupy the family home constitute a reapportionment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.K.N. v. M.J.O., 2002 BCSC 1513 (CanLII):
The fact that there is a provision allowing the wife and children to occupy the family home amounts to a reapportionment: Barker v. Barker at para. 54. The unusual provision allowing the wife to have the benefit of the husband’s share of the funds creates an unequal division.
