Hi All,
In a nutshell:
-Moved across the country in 2000 as bf began his career with the Canadian Forces.
-Had a child in 2004.
-Married in 2007.
-Another child 2009.
-Separated 2012.
He built his career and I worked wherever I could find employment.
I started working for the Department of National Defence in 2007 as a civie and starting contributing to my pension, however, went on relocation of spouse when he was posted and struggled to regain employment until 2011.
Our battle is regarding his pension. I am requesting pension division from date of cohabitation and he is refusing, saying from date of marriage.
In two years of battling he has failed to supply financial disclosure and it just came to my attention that I could apply for the information on pension division to get his pension info. I rec'd two figures, from DOC and DOM. The difference is $60,000 approx. I have a small pension as his was built for 12 years and mine was approx. 3 years in total - due to relo of spouse and maternity leave in 2009.
I am claiming unjust enrichment.
My lawyer asked if I wanted an actuary to analyze his pension and advised that the numbers could be higher or lower. I felt like I was being asked to take door number 1, 2 or 3.
Is it worth getting an actuary or do I just go with the numbers given by PWGSC (public works)?
TIA
