My ex and I separated while he was an undischarged bankrupt.
Six months after split he becomes discharged and then claims the rise in the property value as 50% his.
Is a person who has not claimed at the time of discharge ANY gains able to profit after the fact?
His bankruptcy attorney allowed for me to put money into the home as long as I could prove on record that all repairs and restoration monies came solely from me and not from my ex as he was " not allowed to earn money" on the home while bankrupt and still undischarged.
I kept a clear trail with money that went in as the costs were extensive and the home was unlivable due to damages not covered through insurance.
There was no intention on my part split from him whatsoever, I always thought we would work through the tough times together.
He intended to work through them with another woman...combined with a ruthless temper, I gave up.
What does the law say about benefitting financially after spouse did not declare any gains at time of his release in the matrimonial home?
Is there case law on this?
There do not seem to be lawyers out there(Canadian Law)who have experience in bankruptcy and divorce combined.
I have had several options to hire lawyers who after a 375$ initial consultation say they would be happy to dig their teeth into it(after specifically being asked through their firm only for a lawyer who has knowledge of both concepts).
I can't afford to sit through another opinion that is a guess only after paying up front for " a experienced lawyer ".
I think this is how some have given their profession a poor name....yet I am still trying to be hopeful. Honest, solid, advice would be great if I am right or wrong in my thinking-I would rather understand the law as it has been interpreted by others with knowledge.
Thank you very much for having this Forum, it is appreciated
