Two years ago wife of 25 years left the marriage and family home. We are completing separation statements at the moment which is straightforward apart from her RRSP declaration for sep. date which shows $8.000. I have a copy of an email that she wrote to her parents the year before which says that she had $55.000 in her RRSP's at the time. A chunk of the funds were from an inheritance which was promised for our daughters education that she decided to keep for herself and which I am now asking her to release for that purpose.
She may have cashed out her RRSPs taking the tax hit as part of her pre-evacuation planning. We each have a lawyer who will review the said agreements prior to the (what I hope will be ) do- it- ourself divorce. My question is, as RRSP's are regarded as family assets, where can the money have gone as there is nothing like that amount showing up anywhere else in her savings columns of sep. document and at the time she made no major purchases, do I have any recourse. Thank you.
