What is the final asset to be considered as a family asset?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Noble v. Noble, 1984 CanLII 680 (BC SC):
The final asset to be considered is a bank account which the husband had at the time of the separation. No evidence was led by the wife as to the uses made of the moneys in that account; it accordingly has not been shown that the account is a family asset; rather it falls within the category of "other assets" referred to by Hinkson J.A. in Underhill v. Underbill, supra.
