British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Arnold v. Arnold, 2009 BCSC 1384 (CanLII):
The defendant says that the cases relied upon by the plaintiff in support of an equal division of family assets are old cases in that there has been a gradual evolution in the approach taken to the division of assets. The defendant relies on Zavari v. Zavari, 2008 BCSC 317, Croll v. Croll, 2003 BCSC 1912, and Dhaliwal v. Dhaliwal, 2008 BCSC 1226.
