Home-maker contributions are an unexpected but necessary consideration when determining property for a property settlements. This is especially the case when one party has not worked or contributed financially to the marriage, but instead, has stayed home and cooked for the family, cleaned the house, carried out washing and completed other home duties.
Consideration of the home-maker contributions of a spouse is important, as failure to make any financial contribution to a marriage does not necessarily mean that no contribution has been made at all.
Despite being difficult to value, home-maker contributions can still result in the allocation of a considerable amount of assets from the asset pool.
