Does the wife have to disclose that she was already divorced from the husband when she brought a petition for division of property?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bear v Thompson, 2011 SKQB 254 (CanLII):
This situation is analogous to Shirley v. Lockinger, 2004 SKQB 144, where the wife’s petition for division of property was struck because she failed to disclose that she was already divorced from the husband when she brought the petition. In paragraph 17 of her petition, the wife stated “none” in response to the pleadings regarding particulars and status of all legal proceedings instituted between the parties. The mother, in the case at bar, responded “none” to the pleadings in paragraph 18 that states the dates of written or oral separations or financial or custody agreements.
