Hello Everyone!
Been a while since I posted, it's been a very busy week. My fiance had his case management conference on the 27th, and things are looking ok. Seems the judge has dismissed her claim to equalization, believes that this has already been done. She recieved $20,000, but he assumed all debts and remortgaged for $85,000...doesn't seem equal to me, but he's winng to live with it since he gets to keep the house he built!
She claims she can't work due to depression (their son died last year at 23) and that she was depressed when she left. To our knowledge, she has never seen a doctor for this, is not on medication, and refuses to seek counselling. She was working part-time when she left, and lost that job in 2007 (she left in 2004). Her lawyer didn't even know this!
She's been on assistance ever since, and her lawyer is free! He can fight this to the end, but it will cost $$$$$$$$$. If she can't work due to depression (a disability), why isn't she on ODSP? - because there isn't a doctor who will sign the paperwork required!
If anyone should be depressed, he should. In the last 7 years he has lost both brothers, a younger sister, his father, his stepmom (his mother died when he was 19, 53 now) and his son, who he had custody of and took care of (he was learning disabled). Lost his son and his stepmom in the same week! Yet he continues on...he is a true man....
She used her son's death to get her licence back (lost it for driving without insurance) and is trying to play the sympathy card now (dirty pool). She also claims that she is destitute, but we know that she is living with her parents, and is not on the street (a friend has spoken to her father, who wants her out of his house - he probably doesn't know what she's doing).
I have been working on his finasnciaal statement (I'm the brains, he's the brawn). Turns out the he has about $3,000 a year left over. She wants $1,700 a month! I contibute $650 a month, from my disability income...with the remainder I provide for mine and my son's personal expenses (my personal care, his school and clothing needs (he's 13)).
She has filed a Financial, he has not received a copy yet. I still have to value the assets, but his is looking pretty bleak. There were no assets at date of marriage, things weren't worth much n the date she left, and they aren't worth much more now...perhaps he has a chance.
He's willing to give her half his CPP (though she doesn't deserve it), but his inheritance (Left to HIM, AFTER she left) and his tools (required for his job) are excluded BY LAW!
Forgive me for the length of this post...got a lot to get off my mind. Thanks for listening an letting me unload, Any thoughts or experience you have would be most appreciated!
