Does the equalization get valued at the time of separation?

I respectfully suggest that you telephone me at 877-668-9386 for a free consultation. You have mentioned “15 years after separation,” at the same time noting that the house was in one spouse’s name. Thus, there may be an intervening limitation period which affects your equalization rights. In Ontario, unless a spouse has passed away, there is a limitation period of six years from the date of separation, or two years from the date of a divorce, whichever comes first. I cannot say that one of these applies to you without first speaking with you and, accordingly, no further guidance can be provided without my ability to speak with you and ask pertinent questions. Limitation periods are quite serious.
