I will try and be brief but here's my situation. Cohabitated with my Ex in 2004 and got married in 2008. Separated as of Jan 1st 2020, both of just remained in the home until Aug 2021 when it sold. I'm military and she is a qualified ECE. We moved a few times during my career and she spent a a few years at home looking after the kids (now 10 & 12). She hasn't worked much in the last few years and my income was the sole income for the family. She started working again part time right before covid but is now working full time.
Last summer she met this guy and moved into his home within a few weeks before our home sale was closed, she is now in a common-law relationship with him. I also have a new partner but we have no plans to cohabitate in the near future. My Ex and I both walked away with 100k from the proceeds of the house sale and I paid off the all family debt and she was suppose to repay me (this was done through mediation and our lawyer for the house sale) once the splitting of the assets was complete, she never repaid me her half.
I had hoped it would have be some what quick and easy through meditation but she broke that off after not getting her way and lawyered up instead.
She now wants $12000 lump sum for spousal support, full child support, even though we are split 50/50 and she wants to keep the full CCB for both kids that she is currently getting. I make 100k a year and she should be making around 40-45k now, though I have yet to receive her financials ever.
I don't know what I do here, I'm already paying almost $1000 /mo for child support and I rent my own place and pay all my own bills while she is likely taking home more money than me now and has next to no expenses.
Will the courts look at or current situations at all or am I just going to get raked over the coals regardless?
Thanks in advance for any advise,
K.
