I have posted earlier about my ex abandoning me and our 1 year old son, and our marriage is only 1 year 3 months. His whereabouts is still unknown.
I had thought that I have pretty good grounds that the two properties owned by me and he lived in both properties, should not be divided equally. However, I just found a case that says "I am permitted to exercise discretion in the division of the matrimonial home only in extraordinary circumstances as the Act clearly seeks to assure an equal sharing in most cases. It has been established judicially that a marriage of short duration is not of itself an extraordinary circumstance, neither is the prior ownership of the home by one party." Finally, this stupid judge ruled that the matrimonial home, acquired by the wife before the marriage, be divided equally. The whole case is here: CanLII - 2000 SKQB 50 (CanLII)
or search: Hurton v. Gess, 2000 SKQB 50 (CanLII)
Waa... I feel devastated. I am living in a huge debt now in order to maintain the home and raise our son. This is unfair, unfair.
