While farm wives have

husbands fOr years as part-
ners that contribution has not
been recognized as such , un

intent. of the couple towards•
sharing the farm.
But the courts were hard-
'Pressed to •split the family
assets this way and. would
extend. that assumed intent-
ion but it was too flexible. In
1975 the Ontario legislatUre
acted to recognize marriage
as- a partnership and ruled
that materials acquired dur-
ing the marriage be shared.
Miss Stewart gave some
interesting situations and
pointed out how they would
be handled under the new
taMily law reform law.
The courts try to avoid
windfall benefits. Her ex-
ample="a sweet young thing
marries an older established
farmer and after two months
leaves and sues for half of his
5300.000 farm."
In a case like that the oou-rt.
would look at what valuable
assets she brought into the
marriage and gauge their
response by that. Other
assets include contents of the
home, vehicles, cottage , with
the emphasis eitt the matri-
monial home. But' on the
matter of acreage, the act is
vague Migs Stewart pointed
out.
A hobby farm of 50 acres
could be declared full matri-
monial home and divided
equally. But a user test
comes into play.
'If a woman contributes to
the actual work on the land or
barn while still maintaining '
her home (house) duties she
could still be entitled to part
of say the 400 acres of land
around Outside of the ma-
trimonial home.
While everything is -divid-
ed equally the act is flexible
to avoid inequalities.
"We start at a 50-50 basis
instead of with nothing."
said Miss Stewart. Items like
farm equipment, personal
toyestmentS, or valuable hob-
bies could.he included itt. the

settlement,. As a 'hired hand
she would have • been paid
but as a wife She worked for
nothing. • This extreme- case
led to fairer settlements.' But
the courts have- eased back
and judges are now looking
for a substantial contribution
to the farm before awarding
assets to the spouse.
Spouses also have what is
termed a right of possession.
While their name might not
be on the deed they still have
the right to' the matrimonial
home until they give up the
right or the court decides
they no longer have the
tight.
The home cannot be mort-
gaged or sold without the
consent of the spouse and it
is very difficult to lose this
right as it is laid out in the
act.
Marriage contracts are not
as popular as, we are led to
believe. Miss Stewart point-
ed out that in the law firm
where she works only six
marriage contracts:. have
been written in three years
by the seven lawyers who
work with her. While you
can't contract out custody of
children -you can determine
ownership of your material
assets. The contract is only
valid between married
spouses •and is used to
determine how the property
and assets are split.
"Primarily the contract is
used in second marriages to
protect the first family," said
Miss Steward.
In any situation where a
young- farmer marries and
his wife is not interested in
farming a contract could be
used to protect the farm with
a stipulation that after five
years the contract be auto
maticalls void.
"But how romantic is it to
sit down god decide who will
get what before the marriage
is complete or even after?"
said Miss Stewart.

where 'we stand on a basic
situation.' Miss SteWart-ex-
plained. "What happens de-
pends on you but the courts

basic rights to both men and
women. -
The audience, composed
half of women, asked quest-
ions concerning bankruptcy.
divorce, and liens on pro-
perty. -
On the matter of mecharF
ics' lien Miss Stewart said
that if you are having con-
tract work done you are
entitled to withhold 15 per
cent of payment until 31 days
have passed. That is an
insurance against liens plac-
ed upon your home or
property' •
The example used was a
case where a couple had
cupboards installed in their
home and paid the contractor
the full bill.
Before the 37 days had
, passed the Supplier of the
cupboards to the contractor
slapped a lien on the couple's
home for his bill. The
supplier can only recover 15
per cent from the couple
even •though they paid the
contractor in full. Therefore
,withholding the 15 per cent
from the • contractor saves
them from additional costs if
the need arises. .;
If more than one supplier'
is involved the couple would
still only pay 15 per cent and
let the suppliers divide it up
their own way. "The law is
very' exact and there are
definite time limits in which
to file and after that the liens
are invalid." .
