Hi Everyone,
I am an immigrant from India and I have been served with the divorced papers by him after 3 1/2 years of marriage in Toronto. I got my lawyer through Legal Aid however My lawyer informed me that I am entitled to get spousal support between 11/2 years - 3 years based on length of marriage hence she recently scheduled 4 way meeting. During the 4 way meeting, my lawyer was late for 10 mins and not prepared with the answers. I was only giving all the information in the meeting. She was in a hurry to finalised the case so she asked me to agree if he is willing to pay spousal support even for 6 months. I was very confused because i did not know why my lawyer is acting so different in front of them and agreeing to the wrong information provided by him. Even though we have proof but she did not brought to the table.
He has full time job and annual gross income is 80K.
Finally, she asked me to get copy of my tax refund of this year then we will go the court for spousal support. I am thinking if my lawyer got intimidated by them and not representing very well to them.
Could anyone suggest me If I am eligible to get spousal support for
2 1/2 years or not. Initially, she said I am entitled for 2/1/2 however after the meeting she was saying Judge may approved SS for only 1 year.
Need suggestions..........
