My father who's 62, recently went to China and came back last week married to this woman he met for his second time. They met online through some dating service 2 yrs ago and have been talking over the phone ever since. I'm very happy for him, but I'm also nervous that this woman may have different motives for marrying him, as there are dangers with oversea marriages, and especially since I get the impression she is rather poor.
He's not one to jump into things very quickly, however he feels at his age he can't afford to wait too much longer, and trips to China to meet her become very expensive. He's applying for a visa to have her come to Canada and maybe spend a few years here, before possibly moving to China once he retires.
As I mentioned I'm worried that she's not exactly marrying him out of love, since there's other red flags, ie. as she's in her 40s (a lot younger than he is).
I'm not at all familiar with the laws regarding divorce, however, I know they can be financially devastating, which my father cannot afford at this stage in life. Regardless, I want my father to be safe and protected in case she isn't who he thinks she is. I've read about the possibility of drafting post-nuptual agreements? Is it available in Ottawa? Perhaps there should be something else he should consider?
Thanks,
Jason
