Personal Expenses Paid Through Your Business - How can they affect support in an Ontario Divorce?

Are you a business owner going through a separation or divorce? The income you report for tax purposes may not tell the whole story when it comes to calculating child or spousal support. In this episode, we discuss how personal expenses paid through a business can affect income calculations in Ontario family law. From company vehicles and cell phones to travel, meals, and other business expenses, we explore why the distinction between personal and legitimate business expenses matters. We also discuss financial disclosure, business records, and why it is important to understand how your expenses may be viewed when determining support. If you own a business and are navigating separation or divorce, this episode offers important considerations to discuss with your family lawyer.

Are Bonuses Received After Separation Subject to Equalization?

Can a bonus received after separation still be subject to equalization? Not necessarily, but it’s also not automatically excluded just because it was paid after separation. In this episode, we discuss what can matter, including whether the bonus was contractual or discretionary, when the conditions were satisfied, and how the bonus may be treated for property and support purposes. Watch the full conversation to learn what to look for when bonuses are involved in a separation. 🔹 Thanks for watching!

Episode 88: Stock Options and Divorce in Ontario

Stock options in a divorce aren’t as straightforward as people think. In Ontario, even unvested stock options can be considered property and that can significantly impact how assets are divided. What matters isn’t when they vest… it’s their value at the date of separation. And if you get this wrong? It could cost you far more than you expect. When equity compensation is involved, strategy isn’t optional it’s essential. 🔹 Thanks for watching!
