i could use some advice or insight
married 25 years,of which my wife did not work year 3 and 4 but has worked ever since,she doubled my wage for those years as a semi professional [accounting].she had a failed business which caused myself to go bankrupt,lost house and 2 cars as it was never incorporated and i was told it was and doing fine I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED BUT 25 YEARS MARRIED ,I TRUSTED HER .
marriage was in trouble and this business ended it .she asked me to leave home , easiest decision i ever made ..i did with the last of 3 children a 16 year old , following me mths later ,
my other 2 kids attended university and have huge osap bills ,my last kid is at university now but lives with me after school year and i cover all costs not covered .
i live with my girlfriend and continue to work at my job which just covers my bills with a bit of savings ..she has never paid any child support and actually hasn't worked since the first year after we separated ,virtually no contact with any kids and now has huge oxy addictions and may never work ..i can't get her to go for divorce without huge scene and stirring the pot ...
i worry about ss claims when all i want is to help my kids with loans and be able to eke out a existance doing so..that is main reason i have put off divorce ..a lawyer told me to wait 6 years because that makes claims tougher to lay
any responses would be appreciated
