What is the spousal contribution under s. 65 of the BC S. 65(1) of the Spousal Contribution Guidelines?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from H.L.U. v. R.C.U., 2015 BCSC 313 (CanLII):
The majority of the s. 65 considerations reflect the notion of spousal contribution in the broad sense of the word (encompassing financial contributions or by way of child care, household management or other positive activities that promote the family unit) to the accumulation and maintenance of the family assets. However, reapportionment does not invite a forensic accounting style of analysis of contribution; a dollar in does not necessarily translate into a dollar out: Vander Ende v. Vander Ende, 2010 BCSC 597.
