Statement (Property and

(Court office address)
Instructions for completing this Form 13.1 Financial Statement
FYI: Instructions regarding completion of this form are in Times Roman 11
font. The official form is in a
different font, Arial font and/or varying Arial font sizes and styles.
form, then do your rough work in pencil, and transfer fin
al numbers to your good copy. Please print neatly and
clearly in dark pen on your good copy; complete all applicable checkboxes.
There is no need to do any
mathematics.
Complete financial disclosure is a prerequisite to the settlement of any family law case. The Family Law Act
,
and its interpretation by our Courts, leaves no uncertainty in this respect. Any agreement can be set aside if a
party has failed to truthfully and accurately disclose his or her financial position.
To this end, the rules of the
Court require completion of the Financial Statement, either Form 13.1 (support and
property claims) or Form 13 (support claims only). This form must show information th
at is complete, correct,
and up-to-date. It is important to remember that the Financial Statement is a sworn
document, just like an
affidavit. When you sign this completed document, you are giving evidence in the same manner as if you were
in Court. An incorrect, incomplete or misleading Financial Statement, in addition to affecting the v
alidity of
any agreement, can adversely affect your credibility in the eyes of the other side in reaching a settlement, and in
the eyes of the Court in rendering a decision.
IMPORTANT: If any significant information or numbers change, you must advise us i
mmediately. The
Family Law Rules provide that information in any Financial Statement that is more than 30 days old must be
updated at least 7 days (4 days if you are the responding party) before any case conference, settlement
conference, motion or trial.
The Financial Statement Form 13.1 (or Form 13)
forms the basis for the determination of each party's present
income position and income potential, present and proposed standards of living, and net family property.
All information contained in your Financ
ial Statement must be substantiated by other documentation, or at the
very least, you must be able to explain how the figures were determined. You should retain, gather and
organize all receipts, utilities bills, cancelled cheques, bank account statements
, credit card statements, RRSP
statements, investment account statements, line of credit statements, property or business valuations, estimates,
and all other substantiating documentation, and provide copies to us at our request.

Notes, Above Information:
Form 13.1: Financial Statement (Property and (page 4) Court File Number:
Support Claims)
All Income and Money Received, Monthly
Income is intended to be current income (whether taxable or not). In other words, the preferred way to disclose
income is to list income for the next twelve-month period based on what you are currently receiving and any
anticipated changes to your income. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to determine current income,
particularly if you are non-salaried, and your income fluctuates from year to year. Therefore, depending on the
sources and the time of year the statement is prepared, it may be only be possible to use last year’s numbers.
All income from any source must be included, including gifts, capital gains, income from employment, interest
or dividends from shares or investment certificates, voluntary or indirect support from other members of your
family or from friends or a common law partner, Canada Child Tax Benefits received, Universal Child Care
Benefits received, GST/HST credits received, support payments actually received and any estimated Income
Tax Refund, if applicable.
Note that Canada Child Tax Benefit (“CCTB”) amounts may change once the Canada Revenue Agency
(“CRA”) is notified of the divorce or separation. Usually, the CCTB amount increases because the family
income is reduced.
Please make sure that you are inputting monthly amounts only. If you are paid weekly, please multiply by
4.33 to get a monthly equivalent. Alternatively, ensure that you indicate if a payment is made other than
monthly, so that we will know to do the necessary conversion to a monthly figure. Do NOT add or total this
or any other section.
If you earn overtime income, but only on a sporadic basis, you should still include the overtime income but you
should estimate the overtime income for the upcoming year. Bonuses and commissions should also be handled
in this manner.
For any item that is an estimate and not an accurate and/or fixed figure, please write "(estimate)" beside the
item and explain why the item can only be estimated.
IMPORTANT: Copies of your Income Tax Returns and all attachments for the last three taxation years,
and any Notices of Assessment or Reassessment for the last three taxation years must be provided to us
with this completed draft Financial Statement. If you do not have Notices of Assessment and
Reassessment for these three years, you must obtain an Income and Deductions printout (even if you did
not file) from the Canada Revenue Agency by calling 1-800-959-8281.
Any working copy of your income tax return would also be helpful.
If you are preparing a new personal income tax return before this matter is over, please forward it to us as well.
You must also provide proof of your current income, to be attached to this Financial Statement. Please
provide us with your most recent pay cheque stub(s), employment insurance stub, worker’s
compensation stub, pension stub, or any other proof of income. If you are self-employed, please provide
a copy of your financial statements for the past three years.
(In this table you must show all of the income that you are currently receiving.)

Other Benefits, Yearly
The column, "Yearly Market Value", sets out those benefits that you have NOT had to pay for yourself (ie.
non-cash benefits). These might include the use of a company car, free room and board, dental, life insurance,
vision, drug and/or extended health care plans, a sports club membership, a company loan at low or no interest,
a meal allowance, a cell phone, a blackberry, a parking pass, stock options etc.
Most benefits are taxable and their value can be obtained from last year's T4 slip or your payslip. A reasonable
estimate of the value should be made for non-taxable benefits.
You should provide the annual value of these benefits.
14.
Other Benefits
Provide details of any non-
cash benefits that your employer provides to you or are paid for by your business such as medical insurance
coverage, the use of a company car, or room and board.

Notes, Other Benefits:
Total Expenses, Monthly
"Expenses" represents your current expenses (or your best estimate of your expenses where you cannot
ascertain the actual amounts) over the most current twelve-month period. Note that there is no “right” or
“wrong” and do not be concerned about how your expenses “look”. Do be accurate and truthful.
If you have separated relatively recently, these expenses should be based on your standard of living at the time
of separation. If the separation was some time ago, these expenses are based on your present standard of
living.
Reviewing previous bills, receipts, cheque registers, credit card statements, etc. should assist you in figuring
out what your expenses are. If the children are living with you, please include their expenses in with yours, as
appropriate.
If you have an expense that does not fall into a category, please be sure to list it under the appropriate heading.
If you do not include this expense, you may not get credit for it as an expense when your amount of support
received or support paid is determined.
If your spouse is paying or paid for certain expenses, put this expense into your financial statement but place an
" * " (asterisk), or "(paid by spouse)" or an "H" (Husband) or "W" (Wife) beside those expenses under
“Expense”, or if any expenses are shared, use “shared equally”, or “Wife pays 75%”, or as applicable.
If you are living in new accommodation at the time you are completing this Financial Statement, then we
suggest that you show the new accommodation expenses, as well as all other expenses that you have continued
to incur, with appropriate explanations.
Some expenses do not occur regularly. Car repairs and clothing expenses are such expenses. Please make
your best possible estimate and insert it in the appropriate column. For example, you might take your last six
months’ bills and average them out on a monthly basis.
It is important to keep an accurate record from now on and to keep receipts that are collected for all expenses.
We may need to provide these to your spouse's solicitor on cross-examination or at trial in order to verify your
expenses.
If you are estimating the amount of a particular expense, or if you have calculated a global figure for a
particular expense, and have made a list in order to come up with the estimated or global figure, please keep
this working list in order that you will be able to explain, if necessary, how you calculated the amounts. We
may also want to include the breakdown of a particular expense in notes to be attached to the Financial
Statement.
NEVER inflate your expenses; please keep them accurate. Once the form is completed, please review your
expenses carefully to determine whether in fact they are correct. Always keep in mind that your spouse's
solicitor may cross-examine you in the future and if it turns out you have exaggerated your expenses, the Court
may wonder whether you exaggerate all the time and begin to doubt you in other areas of your testimony.
According to the Child Support Guidelines, proper budgets may be required under certain special situations.
Form 13.1: Financial Statement (Property and (page 7) Court File Number:
Support Claims)
If necessary, we will request that you complete a “Proposed Budget”. If required, the Proposed Budget may be
found at the end of this form. A Proposed Budget may also be required if your current budget does NOT
accurately reflect your accustomed standard of living or your expenses are going to be changing in the future
(ie. you propose to move to another residence after your final settlement). The Proposed Budget must also
avoid exaggeration. It is very helpful to include notes indicating the reasons for any changes from the amounts
reflected under current expenses that are not self-evident. These notes should contain all necessary details.
Please note that if you are not going to change your residence, your fixed expenses should remain the same.
However, your expenses for food, toiletries, sundries, etc. will change, as you will not be including expenses
for your spouse and/or children (if they are not living with you).
If you are self-employed, similarly ensure that expenses are not double counted. Expenses put through your
business (and thereby already reflected in your net income from self-employment) should not be reflected
again on the Financial Statement unless they are in fact personal expenses charged back to you by the business.
Some expenses that may risk being double counted include some housing expenses if a portion of your home is
used for business, “Cell phone”, “Meals outside the home”, “Car Loan or Lease Payments”, “Gas and oil”,
“Parking”, “Entertainment/recreation” and “Gifts”.
If necessary, we may also request that you complete a “Children’s Budget”. If required, the Children’s Budget
may be found at the end of this form. A Children’s Budget should be completed if you are proposing a shared
custody situation, a child is 18 years or over, if one parent stands in loco parentis (in the place of), if undue
hardship is claimed, if the payor’s income is greater than $150,000, or if you are claiming more than the Table
amount or believe you should pay less than the Table amount specified in the Child Support Guidelines.

If, when totaled by us, you show a surplus or a deficit of more than $100, please be prepared to explain.
For example, if you are running a deficit, you will be required to explain how this is being financed. There are
a number of ways to explain a deficit:
1. You are borrowing money to finance your living expenses;
2. You are spending your savings;
3. There is income which has not been listed in this Financial Statement, perhaps money given to you by your
family or a close friend;
4. You have exaggerated or the figures are not accurate; and/or
5. You have experienced a recent loss of income (or are very recently separated) and have not yet been
required to pay certain annual expenses such as insurance or realty taxes, that usually require a loan (or that
were formerly paid by your spouse).

Assets In and Out of Ontario
Under the terms of the Family Law Act, the Court must make an Order to equalize the "Net Family Property"
(“NFP”) of the husband and wife unless exceptional circumstances exist.
The following Assets and Liabilities section sets out the information required by the Court in order to
determine your NFP.
Your NFP is the total of assets owned on the Valuation Date ("Valuation Date" refers to the date of separation
unless you are informed otherwise by our office) less your total liabilities on valuation date and the value of
certain property that the Family Law Act further allows you to deduct or exclude (if applicable). Therefore,
your NFP = your Total Assets on Valuation Date – your Total Liabilities on Valuation Date – deductions as of
the date of marriage – exclusions as of Valuation Date. Please note that your NFP cannot be less than zero.
It is the market value of assets that should be listed, not the purchase price or replacement value. If you
have an asset for which there is no market or if you are asserting a trust claim (or beneficial interest) in
property that is not in your name, please provide us with full details so that we can analyse the matter further
and determine how best to reflect it in your Financial Statement.
Please keep in mind that this is YOUR statement. You should therefore include only those items that you
personally own, or have an interest in, such as joint ownership of real estate where you own a defined
percentage. For example, if you jointly own your home with your spouse, show your 50% share of market
value.
If you have nothing to declare of value in any of the following Asset and Liabilities sections, please enter
"NIL".
“On date of marriage” refers to the Date of Marriage for this action. Please be sure to list all Assets that you
brought into the marriage under the appropriate headings. For example, you may have brought an engagement
ring, home, car, bank account, or furnishings of some value into the marriage.
“On Valuation Date” refers to the date you were separated from the other party in this action. The Valuation
Date is a very important date in the calculation of your NFP.
"Today" refers to the current value or fair market value at the present date (i.e. the date you swear the Financial
Statement). If you still have an interest in any asset or debt listed in the previous column, or have acquired an
asset or debt since separation, put its present day value in the “today” column as well. It is possible for one
asset or debt to have three different values in three different columns.
All values must be realistic and truthful as you may be asked to substantiate any of these values. Please
provide any document of proof that will help establish value, ownership and timing. Please enclose any copies
of deeds, leases or appraisal documents that you may have in your possession.
Even if you feel you will be entitled to an exclusion or deduction for a particular asset (for example, it was
inherited or gifted to you), you must include it in the appropriate category. Later in the form, you will be
entitled to exclude it or deduct it and it will therefore not be calculated in your Net Family Property.
Please note that all entries throughout the form should be converted to Canadian dollars at the prevailing
exchange rate at the relevant time. Current and historic exchange rates are available from the Bank of Canada
website.
Form 13.1: Financial Statement (Property and (page 12) Court File Number:

PART 4: ASSETS IN AND OUT OF ONTARIO
Please insert your Date of Marriage and Valuation Date (Date of Separation) below. If you are not sure of the exact date,
please discuss this date with us prior to completing this form.

The date of commencement of cohabitation is (if different from date of marriage): (give date)
Notes, Dates:
Land
Please list below the value of YOUR interest in all land (i.e. real estate) that you own or owned on the
applicable dates. An interest in land includes an interest in the matrimonial home, any leasehold interests, or
any mortgages you own (ie. you are the mortgagee). Indicate whether that property was held by you alone or
together with another person or persons. If you have a registered interest, please state your percentage
ownership. Reflect only YOUR share of the market value on the applicable date, without deduction for
encumbrances such as mortgages, or costs of disposition, such as real estate commissions. For example, if you
are a joint owner of the matrimonial home with your spouse, put down one-half of the estimated market value.
Please also list the full value of the property in brackets under the address of the property.
Do NOT deduct the mortgage here. It will be deducted elsewhere.
Do NOT deduct the costs of sale here. They will be deducted elsewhere.
If you owned a property on the Date of Marriage, please include its market value at that time in the first
column under “on date of marriage”. It is possible for one piece of land to have three different values in three
different columns.
Finally, if you have acquired an interest in land since the Valuation Date, it must be listed as well. You will
obviously only have to provide one value for that particular asset and enter it under the “today” column.
An executed Agreement of Purchase and Sale should be reflected as a contingent interest. A deposit should
also be reflected as an asset.
Please provide us with all appraisals for any of the properties listed.

Notes, Land:
IMPORTANT: The same procedure is applicable for your other assets listed on the following pages. Estimate
as best you can the market value of the asset on the Valuation Date. If that asset existed on the Date of
Marriage, estimate its market value at that time under the “on date of marriage” column. If it still exists, give it
a value as of the “today” date as well.
If you acquired property after the Valuation Date, you must disclose it in the Financial Statement as well and a
value must be ascribed to it, in the “today” column.
General Household Items and Vehicles
Under “Household goods & furniture”, please estimate the value of your share of the furniture and appliances,
etc. It is not necessary to provide a listing of all household items etc.; a summary of the major items or
categories of items and their respective values should be sufficient. However, in estimating the value of the
items, it may be helpful for you to list all items, which list could be attached for added information.
It is IMPORTANT to note that all items are estimated at their market value for that particular date (ie.
how much could you reasonably expect to get if you were to sell the item at an open auction). Do NOT
use the replacement cost or the insured value of these items. Unfortunately, items such as furniture,
appliances and electronics do not tend to retain their value and are likely not worth nearly as much as their
original purchase price.
If you believe that you and your spouse owned an item together, put in one-half of its value. (Please indicate
the full value of the item in brackets under Description). If you believe the item was yours alone, put in the
total value.
Vehicles can be valued through professional automotive books, known as the “black book” or “red book”.
Alternatively, vehicle and boat values may be obtained by looking in the newspaper want ads or local buy/sell
magazines or on a Canadian buy/sell website.
Please enter the estimated value of jewellery, works of art, and other special items (including wine collections,
stamp collections, instrument collections, antiques, Royal Doulton figurines, etc.) to the best of your ability. If
you are unsure of these estimates, please mark "estimate" beside the entry’s description. You may be required
to obtain appropriate professional appraisals for the value of expensive jewellery, works of art or antiques at
some time in the future.
Please attach copies of any appraisals or your valuation notes, if available and applicable.

mutual funds and any other investments.
With respect to bank accounts, list ALL accounts even if you are not actively using them, even if there is a
minimal or nominal amount in the account, and even if they no longer exist but did at one of the relevant dates
(e.g. date of marriage). Under "Category", state whether an account is a chequing or savings account, and
whether it is a joint account. Obtain bank statements for all accounts listed on the relevant dates (ie. on date of
marriage, on valuation date and today). If you do not have old account records, you should obtain copies from
your bank. While most banks charge a fee for these records, it is important that you have all documentation
necessary to support the figures disclosed in your Financial Statement. However, at this time please show the
account in your statement and we will discuss it further with you. If you have opened bank accounts etc. since
the separation, these must be accurately filled in as well, in the “today” column.
If you have used all of the money in the joint account since the separation, attribute all of the money to
yourself. If the money is still in the joint account, attribute one-half of it to yourself (and list the full amount of
the account in brackets under “Description”).
Please show the value of shares in private or public corporations, stocks, bonds, debt instruments and any other
investment not listed above. Remember, the book value is rarely the value of those shares. The full, pre-tax,
fair market value must be disclosed. The estimated fair market value of your securities is what they would sell
for on the open market. If the value is unknown or indeterminable, or if you have shares in your spouse's
business and have no idea of the value, please indicate this and we will retain an accountant to assist in the
valuation.
All stock options should be disclosed, even if unvested. It will likely be necessary to retain an accountant to
assist in the valuation.
The value of an RRSP or RRIF is indicated on the bank or broker statement. If you have a self-administered
RRSP, you should obtain the current market value by checking with your broker.
The value of an RPP or a private pension is generally the present value of an expected future stream of income,
as determined by a qualified actuary. Please note that the value of the pension may well be more than the
contributions of the employer and employee. Recent legislation requires pension administrators to provide
valuations of private pension plans in accordance with the procedure to be set out in regulations. In some
cases, however, we may still want to obtain a professional valuation.
Please provide us with the appropriate pension booklet and any other documentation pertaining to your pension
benefit plan, to assist us in obtaining the pension valuation.
Do NOT deduct taxes here. They will be deducted elsewhere. Pensions are the only exception to this rule as
most valuations provide a lump sum value net of tax.

Debts and Other Liabilities
Please list all of your debts under the three relevant columns below. These should include mortgages, loans,
lines of credit, income and other taxes payable, overdrafts, outstanding legal and other professional fees, and
credit card balances.
The “on valuation date” column should show all of your debts, or your share of any debts, at the date you and
your spouse separated. For instance, if a property is owned jointly and you and your spouse are jointly liable
for the mortgage, include only YOUR share of the mortgage, indicating the full amount of the mortgage in
brackets under “Details”. However, if the entire mortgage, loan, etc. is in your name only, include the full
amount.
Credit card balances should only be reflected if you are the principal cardholder or a joint cardholder (in which
case you would reflect your one-half share of the outstanding balance). If you are just a supplementary
cardholder with no personal liability, you should not disclose the balance on your Financial Statement.
Debts to parents, other relatives and friends should be included, but note that they will be closely examined to
determine whether they are loans or gifts. If no promissory note or other written document exists, no payments
or demand for payment has ever been made; a court is likely to treat these as gifts.
You should include amounts for any unpaid legal or professional bills as a result of this case.
Please indicate here any contingent tax and costs of disposition (eg. income tax owing in respect of income
already earned, where income tax has not be deducted at source or already paid in advance by way of an
installment to CRA; real estate commissions payable on any assets disposed of or to be disposed of prior to or
after trial). You should also include any other contingent liabilities such as guarantees, for which you may be
liable in the future, and please indicate that they are "contingent".
Please provide us with all documentation you have to verify all debts and other liabilities, including loan and
credit card statements, tax assessment notices, etc.
PART 5: DEBTS AND OTHER LIABILITIES
Show your debts and other liabilities on the dates in each of the columns below. List them by category such as mortgages, charges,
liens, notes, credit cards, and accounts payable. Don’t forget to include:
• any money owed to the Canada Revenue Agency;
• contingent liabilities such as guarantees or warranties given by you (but indicate that they are contingent); and
• any unpaid legal or professional bills as result of this case.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT necessary to complete this section, as you have already supplied the
information that will go in this section by completing the “on date of marriage” columns in the sections
above. Please ensure that you have included all property and debts and other liabilities as of the “date of
marriage” in the preceding sections, even if they were not applicable or in existence on the “valuation
date”.
The purpose of this section is to determine your net worth on the day you were married in the calculation of
your Net Family Property. To arrive at this figure, we take your assets as of the date of marriage, and subtract
your liabilities as of the date of marriage. A matrimonial home brought into the marriage, however, cannot be
deducted if it still exists at the Valuation Date, pursuant to the Family Law Act. Therefore, the value of a
matrimonial home owned on the date of marriage (that still exists on the date of separation) and any associated
mortgage, will not be included in this section as a date of marriage asset.
PART 6: PROPERTY, DEBTS AND OTHER LIABILITIES ON DATE OF MARRIAGE
Show by category the value of your property, debts and other liabilities, calculated as of the date of your marriage. (In this part, do not
include the value of a matrimonial home or debts or other liabilities directly related to its purchase or significant improvement, if you
and your spouse ordinarily occupied this property as your family residence at the time of separation.)

Excluded Property
Excluded property is property that is not required to be included in the calculation of your Net Family Property
pursuant to the Family Law Act (see list below). Excluded property will already have been shown in the
previous sections of the Financial Statement, and will be effectively “cancelled out” in this section.
List all excluded property (land, business interests, investments, cash, possessions, etc.) according to the
following guidelines:
a) property, other than a matrimonial home, that was acquired by gift or inheritance from a third person after
the date of marriage,
b) income from property that was acquired by gift or inheritance, other than a matrimonial home, if the donor
or testator expressly stated that it was to be excluded from your Net Family Property,
c) damages received by you, or to which you may be entitled, in connection with a personal injury lawsuit,
d) proceeds or a right to proceeds of a life insurance policy as defined by the Insurance Act,
e) property, other than a matrimonial home, which can be traced back to funds received as a result of any of
the above, and
f) property which you and your spouse have agreed by domestic contract (marriage contract/cohabitation
agreement) is not to be included in your Net Family Property.
For example, if you own a painting on the Valuation Date, but you purchased that painting with money that
you inherited from your mother after the date of marriage, you are entitled to exclude the value of the painting
on the Valuation Date. More specifically, if you inherited $1,000 during the marriage and bought the painting
for $1,000 during the marriage, but the painting is worth $5,000 on the Valuation Date, you are entitled to an
exclusion of $5,000 and that is the amount that you enter in the “Value on valuation date” column with respect
to that painting. You should already have listed the painting as art under the “General Household Items and
Vehicles” section and disclosed a value of $5,000 for it on the valuation date. By including it again in this
section as excluded property, you are effectively “canceling out” the prior listing, so that it will not be included
in the calculation of your Net Family Property.
You will be required to prove and trace the excluded property into property owned on the Valuation Date.
Therefore, please provide us with all corroborative documentation with respect to any property you are
claiming as excluded property. For instance, in the above example, you could provide a copy of the cancelled
$1,000 cheque from your mother’s estate, a bank statement showing that the funds were deposited to your bank
account, and then a copy of the cancelled cheque used to purchase the painting.
Please note that a matrimonial home that was gifted to or inherited by you cannot be excluded from your Net
Family Property unless excluded by way of a domestic contract (marriage contract/cohabitation agreement).

Special or Extraordinary Expenses for the Child(ren)
Include in Schedule “B”, any special or extraordinary expenses for the children. Under the Child Support
Guidelines, the following expenses related to the children qualify as special or extraordinary:
• Necessary childcare (ie. daycare and babysitting) expenses;
• Medical insurance premiums and certain health-related expenses for the child that cost more than $100
annually;
• Extraordinary expenses for the child’s education (eg. tutoring, private school costs etc.);
• Post-secondary school expenses; and
• Extraordinary expenses for extracurricular activities.
Many of these special expenses have associated tax deductions or credits which apply to reduce the actual net
cost of the expense to you. The Child Support Guidelines provide that it is the net cost of the special expenses
that is to be shared by you and your spouse in proportion to your respective incomes after deducting any
contributions from the child or third parties.
You should include the full value of each special expense for the children, and note the value of any tax
deduction or credit claimed in relation to each expense. We will then determine the effect of the tax deductions
or credits on the expenses and determine the net amount of those expenses.
You must also include proof of all expenses (eg. invoices, receipts etc.).

annually;
• Extraordinary expenses for the child’s education;
