Forget about what "her lawyer" says. They are there to represent the ex. It's their job to be biased and unreasonable in the ex's favour.

You have to get your own legal advice to determine your...

My understanding is that if you are in Ontario, the matrimonial home is split 50/50 with your STBX even if it was brought into the marriage.


My guess, is that the any increase is also split...

Keep in mind that the longer you are married, the more you may have to pay spousal support. IIRC, the rule of thumb is 6 months for every year of marriage.

Thank you for the well written post about the realities of family court in Canada. I'll be saving it for my son in case he is ever foolish enough to get married.

The law will never be changed until a not-significant amount of women find themselves paying spousal support, loosing 1/2 the house they paid for, etc.

First step is to determine if there should be any SS at all.

If there is to be SS, I believe the "rule of thumb" for spousal support is 1/2 year for every year of marriage, so 7.5 years.

I do agree with Iona that domestic violence is more serious than assaults outside the home, mainly because it should be a safe place and it's often very difficult to leave the home.

However, I'm...
