When we • got there we, travelled on foot through the bush with several parents .and • teachers accompanying us. Most of the tives • had one' pail on them: but some Of the' large ones had two •, • • buckets. In each' tree there was • Question; I have heard that there is a new Act which changes family law in Ontario. Has there been such an Act passed? Answer: Yes. The new Act which came into force March 31,1978, is.' titled "An Act to reform the law respecting property rights and ' support obligations • between _tnarried persons- and, in other family relations", It s a very comprehensive piece of legislation which revolutionizes the,'area of family law. Questions: How the new Law Reform Act affect the average person like myself, who is married and owns house and a car? Answers:. The aim of the new Act is to achieve a more equal division of property and obligations to provide support payments upon the breakdown of a marriage. Marriage is now treated .as a partnership and there are certain types of property that will be split equally. These are known as family assets. Family assets are property owned by one or both of the spouses which are used by the family for shelter or— tran- sportation or - for educational, recreational, social or aesthetic -PtirPSCS. F Y assets are owned— sepa ately •during' the marriage an each spouse can deal with th m freelyexcept certain restri ‘tions covering the matrimonial ho e. It is onlyupon marriage breadkdown that the spouses are restricted in their dealings with tinnily assets. Question: My husband, who owns a hardware store has run dff with a go-go dancer, He has told me that I can have a half interest in 'the hou se, but the business is all his. Before we started to raise a family I used to work in the store. Am I entitled to any share in the business assets? Answer: You may. have a partial interest 'in your husband's business. The actual amount' will depend upon your contribution,. Where a spouse or former spouse has given money, or worked so as to help the other to. acquire, Maintain, manage, operate or improve a property other than family assets, in which the other has an interest, the court may award either a payment in cash for the interest, or a share of the interest according to the con- tribution of the spouse The court will look at ' the aces without regard to the relation of husband wife and the fact that the acts making up the contribution were- those that would be expected of a reasonable husband or wife in the circumstances. Therefore your work in aiding your husband may qualify you for an interest. Question: My wife and I are thinking of buying a new home. If the houseis ptkt in my name only, - will my wife automatically be given a. half interest in the house as a result of the new Family Law Reform AO? Answer: The new Act restricts dealing with a house, even if it is the name of onespouse only, if it is found to be 'a "matrimonial home'-'.. T,lie matrimonial home is a ' house used as a family residence. During the marriage neither spouse con sell. or mortgage the home without the other's consent regardless of which spouse owns the house. Upon marriage breakdown either spouse may apply for a court order for possession of the matrimonial home. • Finally, there • will be equal division of family 'assets including the matrimonial home where the marriage is, legally ended or the spouses are separated and there is no reasonable prospect that the spouses . will be living together , again. , This equal divisiee.....,..ef family assets'will be made" regardless of the ownership of the assets by the spouses. Your wife therefore will only be given a .legal interest in one half of the, house upon marriage breakdown, but has other rights in the house that are protected during the marriage. Question; After ten years of marriage my husband has .left me. We have two children age six and eight. Can I get support for myself and the children? Answer: under the new Act every 'spouse has an obligation to provide forihimself or herself and for the other spouse, in Ac- cordance with need, to the extent 'that he/she is capable of doing so. Upon application, a court may order a person to provide support for his or her dependents and set the amount they will be required to pay. ' • The major changes in the law of support are: (1.) Wives and husbands, have an obligation to ' support themselves. (.) Wives have an obligation to support husbands. The obligation for'" support is mutual. (3) Support orders are made on the basi, k;i' need and ability to pay. The court will consider all f the 'circumstances when deter , fining the amount of support incloding: (1.)'Assest and means •oP the person dependent upon sup nort and the person who will be requircu to pay support. (2.) The ability of the person seeking, support to provide for his/her own support. (3.) Age and physical and Mental health of the persons involved. (4.) The ac- customed standard of living when - the spouses lived together. • • Question: Is it true that under this new law children can be required to support their parents? Answer: Yes. The new law states that every child who is over the age of eighteen has an obligation to provide support to their parents, if theirs parents • have cared for and ,provided support to that child and if their parents have need for support. The child is obligecrto provide'support only to the extent that he/she is capable of 'so doing. Question: My boyfriend and I are considering marriage. Is it true that we can draw up a contract? If we do, what could it cover? While 'they are still liv' togethep. (2) Cohabitation agreement - A man and a woman who are cohabiting may 'enter into an agreement in which they,agree on their respective• rights and bhligations, during cohabitation. (3) Separation Agreement -,'- A' husband and wife who have separated may enter into an agreement' outlining their• rights and obligations. Since you .and your boyfriend are about to enter into marriage, you would be considering a marriage contract. Under the new act Spouses can make a marriage contract out- lining obligations during roar- Hoge or "upon separation or annullment or dissolution of the marriage or upon the death of one of them, This contract could deal with: (a) Ownership in or division of property. (b) Support obligations, (c) The right to direct , the education and moral training of their children. (d) Any other matter in 'the settlement of their affairs. - There are 'exceptions and limita- don to the subjects spouses can deal with in their Marriage contract: (1') They cannot contract regarding the right to Custody of or access • to their children. HoWever, they can contract about matters in a 'separation agree- ment, whiCh they would draw up when they have to live together. • (2) They cannot put provisions in the marriage contract that at- ternpts to limit the rights, of 'a spouse regarding the matrimonial honie; (3) Any provision in a , marriage contract that deals with children can be disregarded by the court if the court feels it would' be in the best interest of the child. A marriage contract would also be invalid if it was made under duress, undue influence or fraud. The contract must be in writing, signe0y-kliepersonp to be bound and witnessed. Question; What will happen to. my ' husband if he. does not pay the support the court has ordered? Answer: Under the new act, the Provincial court (Family Divisien) Will .have power-to enforce , support orders, If there. Is a default le payment a notice may be issued requiring the person who has not paid under the support order, to appear- before , the court to . explain the default. If he does not 'appear the court may issue a warrant for. is arrest. If the court feels that he has the ability tepay but is not doing so, the court may order imprison- ment for a term not longer than • three months or the court may, make an attachment Order. This order' would direct the employer Of the ,person who has not paid under . the support order, to deduct the amount due. from his wages and pay the amount into court. INSECT REPELLENT.
