British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Manhas v. Manhas, 2008 BCSC 1175 (CanLII):

However, the need for the children to remain in the home can also be addressed by delaying the sale, rather than adjusting the percentages on division of the assets, although such delay is, in itself, a form of re-apportionment: See Barker v. Barker, 2002 BCCA 345.
