Legal Question in Family Law in Canada

Re: cottage use

As noted on the LawGuru website questions directed tptjhis lawfirm must be answered with relation to British Columbia law.

In B.C., assuming thst the cottage is actually owned by both, then she cann use it as well as her (ex)husband. If it is not owned in both names, she can stilluse it, assuming it has been found to be a family asset, but there could be more difficulties.

We can not answer about what effect the things done by the ex to the cottage will have as there is insufficient information given.

Date of division of the value of the cottage in B.C. is normally the date of trial or if no trial, then dateof sale, but the date is different in different Provinces. Some are date of separation, some are date of trial, some may be other dates. A lawyer practicing in the jurisdiction must be consulted.
