What is the current value of the assets of a family that are subject to division?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from B.D.M. v. A.E.M., 2014 BCSC 453 (CanLII):
It is thus apparent that the value of the family assets is dramatically less now than it was at the date of the triggering event. The law seems to be well settled that assets subject to division should be valued as of the date of trial unless there is a persuasive reason to find otherwise or the factors set out in s. 65 apply. See: Gilpin v. Gilpin, [1990] B.C.J. No. 2272; Rapley v. Rapley, 2006 BCSC 1854.
