A couple who made a living growing marijuana illegally for 20 years has split up. British Columbia has definitive family law rules, but how does dividing the profits from an illegal grow-op figure into a divorce situation? The two, who were married for 30 years, tried to share the assets, but since most of the transactions were completed using cash and scant records were kept, the court deemed their evidence of income was thin, often contradictory and lacking in credibility.
Family law: Being invested in kids 100 per cent after divorce
Divorcing a spouse doesn't mean divorcing the children, too. Family law in British Columbia takes into consideration what is in the best interests of the children and that usually means have a healthy, well-rounded relationship with each parent if possible. Divorce is in no way the fault of any children involved and although parents may relinquish the personal parts they play in a former spouse's life, they should continue to be there to support their children 100 per cent.
