Which of the following is NOT correct regarding a matrimonial home in Ontario?

A non-owner spouse has the right to be notified about any action taken by the owner spouse that could affect his or her right to possession.
Spouses can have more than one matrimonial home.
The spouse having title to the property and a non-owner spouse have an equal right to possession of the property.
The terms 'matrimonial home' and 'matrimonial property' are synonymous from a legal perspective.

The correct answer is: The terms 'matrimonial home' and 'matrimonial property' are synonymous from a legal perspective.

The term 'matrimonial home' specifically refers to the residence where a couple resides together as spouses, while 'matrimonial property' encompasses all assets and property acquired during the marriage, which may include multiple types of real estate and personal property. Therefore, saying that the terms are synonymous overlooks important legal distinctions. In contrast, the other statements accurately reflect the legal rights and realities associated with matrimonial homes in Ontario. Non-owner spouses do have the right to be notified about actions that could affect their right to possess the matrimonial home, as this ensures their security and interest in the property. Additionally, it's recognized that spouses can indeed have more than one matrimonial home in certain circumstances, such as if they maintain residences in different locations. Finally, both spouses, regardless of ownership, share equal rights to possess the matrimonial home, which reinforces the concept of partnership within a marriage, particularly in matters related to their shared living space.
