What is the test for finding an equal division of assets in a long-term disability case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Grewal v. Grewal, 2006 BCSC 1085 (CanLII):
Pearson v. Pearson, 2004 BCSC 1720, involved a long marriage as well, where the husband had become disabled. Despite his need for self-sufficiency, the judge found no basis to find an equal division of assets unfair. The parties had started out with very little and accumulated what they had by virtue of their joint efforts over the years. This is the only aspect similar to the case at bar.
