Hello, everyone, my first post here. I meant to ask these question a lawyer, but as it is coming closer and closer to being necessary I realize I'm totally not in the mood to start dealing with lawyers again.
Comparing to other's stories, mine is relatively boring, I guess. We are separated and all financial issues are settled at the moment.
My question concerns financial statement.
First, long before the marriage, I had a saving program with employer in another country. For various reasons I did not took that money when I came to Canada, which was over 9 years ago. I was married for 3 years. So the money is not subject to division, as it is a premarital asset. However, I did not include it into the FS that I filled out last year. I did not know how much was there, nor did I know if they money were still waiting for me. I did not save any documents related to that account.
Anyway, this year I went to that country and got the money - around 17K. Now, I would like to somehow make the money legit and not worry about ex- claiming it is my income. There is an option to keep the money as cash, but the thing is I have a couple of expensive debts that I'd like to get rid of, and I can't without these money. Unfortunately, even now I can't produce any paperwork related to that account. All I have is a form I submitted to the corp that held it, basically saying "give me all my money", without even having the amount on it. No signature or stamps from that organization.
I'm thinking of declaring it as a loan from my relatives. I find it safer. By now I'm certain ex- with scrutinize any new money, as she and her lawyer requested papers on all accounts I declared as premarital asset.
What kind of documentation would be necessary to make the loan story convincing?
Any comments?
