Registry: Halifax
Between:
Mary Ellen Andrews
Petitioner
v.
R. Sheldon Andrews
Respondent
Judge: Leslie J. Dellapinna, J.
Subject: Divorce, division of assets and debts, occupation rent, child support and spousal support.
Summary: The parties separated after approximately twenty-five years of marriage and four children. They were unable to agree on the division of their respective assets and debts and the wife sought an Order that enabled her to apply for child support should one of the children return to university. The husband sought an Order that would enable him to apply for spousal support should his circumstances change for the worst.
Issues: 1. What was the appropriate division of assets and debts between the parties?
2. Was the Respondent-husband entitled to occupation rent?
3. Should there be a child support provision in the Corollary Relief Judgment?
4. Should the Corollary Relief Judgment include a provision for nominal spousal support?
Result: An equal division of matrimonial assets and debts was ordered. No occupation rent was ordered. No child or spousal support was ordered but depending on how circumstances might change in the future either party might bring an application to vary pursuant to section 17.
