(Appellant) (Respondent)
C.A. No. 144018 Halifax, N.S. FLINN, J.A.
(orally)
APPEAL HEARD: March 18, 1998
JUDGMENT DELIVERED: March 18, 1998
WRITTEN RELEASE OF ORAL: March 20, 1998
SUBJECT: Matrimonial Property Act - Division of Matrimonial Assets
SUMMARY: This appeal arises out of an application by the appellant husband for an unequal division in his favor of matrimonial assets. The respondent wife had requested an equal division. The marriage was of relatively short duration (2 years and 10 months) following a period of cohabitation of 14 months. The husband had brought, substantially, all of the assets into the marriage. The value of the matrimonial assets at the time of separation was $138,125.00 plus the value of certain furniture. The trial judge ordered the husband to pay the wife $15,000.00 and to assume matrimonial debts of $22,000.00. The husband was ordered to pay suit money and costs.
ISSUE: Appellate review.
RESULT: Husband’s appeal dismissed. The ruling of the trial judge was not clearly excessive, in the wife’s favor, nor was it inequitable to the husband, as was the case in Roberts v. Shotten (1997), 156 N.S.R. (2d) 47. The Court of Appeal would not interfere with the decision of the trial judge.
