Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 18,1986-11 Durham East Agri-News By John E. Finlay Agricultural Representative NEW FAMILY LAW ACT The Family Law Act, Bill Number One has been passed and replaces the Family Law Reform Act of 1978. ■ Previously assets were referred to as family assets and other assets. The family home, boat, cottage were considered family assets and the farm property was another asset. The family assets were div- died equally and other assets were split according to the contribution made by each spouse. The new law has the concept of net family property property and divdies the net value of all assets owned by both spouses. Exceptions Exceptions include an inheritance or property brought into the marriage. The increased value of these assets during the marriage is considered family property. A Marriage Contract is a type of partnership agreement that can provide provide a different distribution of assets if the marriage breaks down; Marriage children prepare a marriage marriage contract to assure the continuation continuation of the farm business if the marriage fails. The contract can provide the formula for dividing the children's family property without the surprises that can come out of a lawsuit. , The new Act also provides for the splitting of assets of spouses when death occurs. The surviving spouse is entitled to half of the net family property. If the will does not provide provide this share, the surviving spouse can contest the will within 6 months. months. Thus, the provisions in a will may not be followed if challenged by the surviving spouse. Now without a marriage contract, contract, there will be a major challenge in developing proof of the amount of the increase in value of family property during marriage. Lawyers, accountants and appraisers appraisers will all be involved in' at tempting to prove the merits of each spouse's position. . R.O.S. FOOTNOTES By Barbara Weese ONTARIO STRAWBERRIES: Strawberries - high in Vitamin C and low in calories can be used in a variety of summer dishes. As a change from desserts, why not try strawberries in your salads. A few sliced strawberries added to salad greens and tossed lightly with an oil and vinegar dressing, freshly gro.und black pepper and a pinch of sugar gives a new taste treat. For best quality, choose bright red berries with no white spots. Strawberries do not continue to ripen after picking. At home, any damaged berries should be separated from the perfect berries and used immediately. The perfect berries can be stored up to two days in the refrigerator. For best flavour, don't hull or wash until serving time. Also just rinse the berries off - don't soak as they will absorb water quickly.
