Does the interest in a farm owned by the respondent constitute matrimonial property?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Greyeyes v. Greyeyes, 1982 CanLII 2675 (SK QB):
However, as stated, I still consider the “interest” of the respondent in the land to be matrimonial property. It comes within the phrase “real . . . property whatsoever, regardless of its source, kind or nature, . . . in which an interest is held . . . “ This “interest” has a real value, however difficult to ascertain, and the applicant is entitled to be compensated for her share of that value. A similar position was adopted in Sandy v. Sandy, supra. Therefore, I am including the present residence of the respondent and the possessory rights of the respondent in the farm land as matrimonial property.
