Company description
Assiniboia Law Group is your law office in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Once you have decided to divorce, you and your spouse or partner will need to address the division of your assets and property. In Manitoba, both married couples and common-law partners are subject to property division law. During a marriage or common-law partnership, a couple will acquire “family assets and debts” which are eligible to be divided upon separation or divorce. Family assets refer to such assets as bank accounts, pension plans, retirement savings, debt, bonds, securities, and all other property that was acquired during the course of the marriage or partnership. As a general rule, all family property (assets and debts) accumulated during the course of the marriage or common-law partnership is to be shared equally. If you do not wish the general rules of property division to apply to your marriage or common law relationship, it’s essential that you and your spouse or partner sign a “spousal agreement” establishing a different regime for dealing with your property upon separation or death. We provide service to our customers in the area of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
