Hello,
Well I have a Minutes of Settlement drawn up through mediation today. Its not great for me but I am pretty tired of this process so there was actually a lot of relief. It still subject to obtaining independent legal advice.
After getting home after another full day of mediation, I started having remorse about the Spousal Support clause. The clause has no end date. I raised my concern to the mediator but he said "do you really want to have an end date? It could bind you until that date"
Another thing he said is that I could be responsible for ss indefinitely anyway. He gave the example of my ex having a catastrophic event in the future and I would have to support her indefinately.
We do have a material change in circumstance clause.
Am I responsible for any disabilities that happen after the separation?
Can I have an end date and still have ss discontinued with a material change of circumstance?
I mentioned before that I was married for 13 years. My ex is arguing 14 (12 marriage and 2 cohabiting). Is 1 year worth the fight? Is 14 years still a mid term marriage?
Is being married with 3 kids an automatic entitlement to ss?
I read about stepping down ss. How is that done? Just agreeing to impute a wage after a period of time?
I really don't want to go to court but I don't want to be paying ss for the rest of my life either. The deal she will be getting will make her pretty comfortable while working part time, so she has no incentive to work full time. (She worked full time while married but was laid off after separation)
I read a post about imputing based on a reverse analysis of lifestyle. Can anyone give me some insight on this or case law, or what key words I would use to search the case law?
Thank you
