fifty years.
This important legislation
is the culmination of a
decade of discussion and
debate on the subject, and
has been before the Ontario
' Legislature for the past two
years. In early January of
this year, the Bill was
studied, in the Justice
Committee, clause by
claase, by Members of all
three parties. Some
significant amendments to
the Bill were proposed at
that time.
The family law reform
legislation was designed to
update the traditional legal
concepts governing
matrimonial property and
support obligations, to ac-
commodate the various
forms of modern family
life. It recognizes marriage
as a partnership between
two.people — no matter who
works where and who ac-
tually brings home the
paycheque.
"Work" is defined broadly
to include not only work for
which one is paid, but also
the work of the homemaker,
the management of the
household and care of the
children — for which the wife
is not usually paid, but which
is essential to traditional
family life.
This legislation covers a
broad range of property and
support rights for married
and separated people, as
well as those living in
common-law relationships.
The most significant change
affects the area of marriage
break -down.,
The Act proposes that the
family assets system be the
basic system governing
property relations between
husband and wife in Ontario.
Under this system, "family
assets" include property
owned by one or both spouses
which is used by the family
for shelter or transportation,
or for household,
educational, recreational,
social or aesthetic purposes.
Family assets are owned
separately during the
marriage.
Where there is no
marriage break -down, each
spouse remains free to
acquire, manage and dispose
of property as he/she does
under the present law, ex-
cept in the case of the
matrimonial home, where
special provisions apply.
Both spouses are given
rights in the matrimonial
home: either has the right to
seek a court order for
possession of the
matrimonial home and
contents; neither spouse can
sell or mortgage the home
without the other's written
consent, regardless of _which
of them owns it.
The new law applies only
upon marriage break -clown,
and only in the absence of a
marriage contract. Under
the legislation the woman is
considered to be an equal
partner in the marriage
relationship and the "family
assets" which include the
home, furniture, cottage,
boat, car, appliances, etc.
are subject to the rule of
equal division.
This is, of course, subject
to judicial discretion; in
other words, unless the judge
decides it should be other-
wise.
Under the new law a
woman can go to court and
demand a share of other
assets — such as business
profits, bonds, stocks, in-
vestments, commercial
property, trust funds or
pensions. Court decisions
would be based upon the
circumstances of the case,
whether the woman had
contributed to the financial
success of her husband, or in
the event the family assets
were notconsideredadequate
to give her a fair share.
The key words here are
"contribution to the
zee
marriage,"as a wife will not
necessarily be awarded a
share of business and other
assets.
Liberal Margaret Camp-
bell proposed a significant
amendment to the Act,
which was passed by a
majority of the House, Her
amendment recognized that
"child care, household
management and financial
provisions are the joint
