It's not clear about the house. How much can you actually document? What payments can you produce records for, what type of things did you pay for? Do you have a copy of the will? All this matters, you might have a claim, or you might not, it depends on how much you can show.
It may be that you have a claim due to his promise and some money you put in, but if you can't show it and it's his word against yours then it can be an expensive failure. You have to weigh all of this.
For spousal support, it will be a complicated calculation, it will be based on his income after paying CS to his child, that has to come first. There may then be other deductions for him as well. He may have to pay some support for your daughter depending on their relationship, the fact that she is still living with him may make her entitled to some support. Of course if she stays living with him, he wouldn't pay support to you, and you could end up paying CS to him for her! Your situation is very complicated and there is no easy answer.
There are free consulations available from the Law Society of Upper Canada and from Family Law Information Centre, you can Google both.
