Family property laws affect,
every one of us.
These are the proposals
ntario is considering to
improve them.
Have yOu ever thoughtabouthow much your •
life is affected by family property law? Probably
not Yet hardly anything you have goes un-
touched by these laws"- the property you owned
before you were married, the property you'Ve
acquired since. your home, your joint bank
accotint, your credit, even survivor's rights
when your husband or Wife dies
Because family law is so fundamental, several
years ago the Ontario Government asked the
Ontario Law Reform Commission (OLRC) to
consider the televance ot the existing laws to
today s need and to recommend appropriate
changes
The Commission has reported and now the
government is interested in learning your
reaction to these recortirriendations
ShOlild ownership of family property including
theTamily home depend on who actually paid •
for it9 or should a system of'co-ownership of
assets be developed on the basis of marriage
as a social and economic partnership') i
• t,
Should a spousebe entitled to an interest in it
the property of the marriage even when he or L,
she has been unfair or unfaithful
How'should the wifeLs non -monetary,
contribution to thedevelopment of the husbands
busines&be.recognized.2
• If a system of co -ownership of property were
introduced', snoulda couple have the option to
draw up their Own contract or make other
arrangements to govern the property of their
marriage')
Should the proposed -changes apply to
existing marriages or only to future marriages?
The Commission did -consider other kinds of
community property systems includinglhose in
which sharing would take place from the time of
marriage As the GLA-CVroPosals now stand.
assets acquired during the marriage would be
shared only when the ma'rriage ends
The Commission also recOmmends that both
husband and wife have a duty to support their
-childrenand to support each other when the
other is in need and is unable to work.
