Hi,
I was married in 1994 and my husband was deported from Canada to his own country in spring 2002. We were living in Vancouver.
Since then, I have moved to Toronto (summer 2002) bought a condo and have been physically and partly financially responsible for our three children for all that time.
He sends me money every month (we have no formal agreement, and do not need one as we have remained friends) The children visit him in the summers.
We have both come to the conclusion that we will never be together as man and wife again, since he can't be here and I don't want to bring the children up in his country. The only thing holding us back for the past couple years is the cost and confusion of a divorce, especially in our circumstances.
I'm not in need of anything, but I have a strict budget, and make enough money that I wouldn't qualify for any legal aid help.
If we were to file an uncontested divorce how would we go about it since he is over seas and I am in Toronto? How would the papers be signed, he can't show up in court or be served, can he do it by fax? Would I even need to involve him?
