common law and OMERS

[dadtotheend]

This may be surprising, but it's quite common. People start out being agreeable and for whatever (rational or otherwise) reason their minds change.

Try to stay away from any mindset that can be construed as unreasonable. If he is being bullying, then re-double your efforts to be reasonable.

You don't want to fan the flames and incite conflict, but you may have to politely remind him that you don't want the court to have to force the issue if he leaves you no option.

If you have to involve the court, it will be an expensive duration of weeks or months getting and enforcing an order for disclosure. You can see why it pays to have him on side.

Thanks, I will try to remember that. He has been like this through the whole process! Just getting fed up with his games! This could be over so quickly, but for a change I need to think about myself and not him all the time. Tired of being his "mommy". LOL

Hi again,
Well, it looks like he is going to fight me on the OMERS pension. All I want to know how much the amount is that I'm entitled to and if it's worth fighting for. It must be a fair amount if he is willing to fight me in court!

Just got off the phone with my lawyer. He says because we are common-law, I may not be entitled to my half of the house proceeds and OMERS! He is telling me that under the family law, I may not be entitled to both!
OMG! My ex is getting nastier but the minute and I told him I'm not signing off on anything until I am satisfied.
I'm trying not to loose my cool here, but sometimes I feel nobody but me is fighting for me.
