   Estranged wife of Robert Campeau must also turn over assets, Ontario court rules

   The estranged wife of Robert Campeau, who once controlled a $10-billion real estate and retailing empire in Canada and the United States, has been ordered to pay him $25,000 a month in spousal support and turn over $9-million in family assets.
   
   The Ontario court ruling is the latest chapter in a bitter divorce between Robert and Ilse Campeau that has been raging for nearly two years in Canada and Austria.
   
   Mr. and Ms. Campeau married in 1970 and the couple became a fixture on the business scene during Mr. Campeau's rise to international fame in the 1980s. At its peak, Campeau Corp. controlled U.S. retailers Federated Department Stores and Allied Stores, whose shops included Bloomingdale's and Brooks Brothers.
   
   The company collapsed in 1990 and the Campeaus headed to Austria. They separated in 1996 and, after a few unsuccessful attempts at reconciliation, Mr. Campeau returned to Ottawa about three years ago, where he lives in a rented house.
   
   According to court filings, Mr. Campeau has less than $1-million in total assets and his only income is $7,400 a month from a pension. Throughout his career, he transferred nearly all of his assets to Ms. Campeau ,so as to provide some family protection in the event my business ventures failed,, he said in an affidavit.
   
   Last year, Mr. Campeau filed for divorce in Ontario and asked for spousal support as well as an equal division of the couple's assets. He calculated those assets at $18-million, which included a $6.5-million villa in Austria, a condo in Cayman Islands, $1-million worth of art and $4-million from the sale of the couple's famous French Chateau-style mansion in Toronto.
   
   Mr. Campeau has accused Ms. Campeau of hanging on to all the money and moving some assets out of Canada while the divorce case was continuing. He claimed that in November, 2003, she transferred ownership of a $2.3-million penthouse apartment in Toronto to ,her live-in companion, in Austria.
   
   Ms. Campeau has filed for divorce in Austria and argued that the case should be heard there. She contested the Ontario case for months, but her lawyer withdrew about two months ago.
   
   In a ruling made public Friday, Madam Justice Giovanna Toscano Roccamo of the Ontario Superior Court agreed with Mr. Campeau's calculation of the family's assets and ordered Ms. Campeau to pay just over $9-million. The judge also awarded Mr. Campeau monthly support payments retroactive to March, 2003.
   
   ,Having regard for the history of the family wealth accumulation and Mr. Campeau's significant role in that aspect, as well as the standard of living to which the parties were accustomed, an award of $25,000 per month in spousal support commencing March 1, 2003, shall issue against [Ms. Campeau],, Judge Toscano Roccamo ruled.
   
   Because the judge backdated the payments, Ms. Campeau already owes Mr. Campeau $500,000 in support. She must also cover $53,000 of his legal bills.
   
   Gerald Langlois, Mr. Campeau's lawyer, said the ruling will provide Mr. Campeau with some needed cash. ,He has hardly any income and that's a crying shame,, Mr. Langlois said. ,He's holding up, but she is making things immensely difficult for him.,
   
   Mr. Campeau tried to make a small comeback in Ottawa last year with plans to build an exclusive gated community on a 120-acre site. The development was to include about 45 homes, each around 3,000 square feet in size, as well as a country club, golf course, marina and equestrian centre.
   
   But the project has been stalled because the land is tied up in the legal dispute with Ms. Campeau, who controls the property through a trust. ,He's not doing anything,, Mr. Langlois said. He added that Mr. Campeau, who has a history of mental illness, is not well. ,He's improved greatly over the last little while but he's aging. He is trying to do the best he can.,
