The day of separation between me and ex happened two weeks after we bought new house in Bradford and while the old townhouse in Thornhill was getting sold. We have been living together in the house in Bradford for 7 months in different rooms with all the tensions involved when we decided to separate 6 months prior. I had nowhere to go with no money as my ex took all money from the sale of the townhouse to his new account. After all the fights and stress my ex gave me 15% money from the sale of townhouse in Thornhill. It was very important to protect our 5 y.o. daughter from watching conflicts and unexpected behavior of my ex. I and daughter moved out to rental basement in Thornhill, whereas, I am the sole guarantor for the rent. At the same time, ex-husband is still living in the house in Bradford maintaining mortgage and title under his name.
My Legal Aid lawyer said we can split only one Matrimonial home while we were living together as a family for 5 years in the previously owned townhouse. However, I feel that we need to split money from the sale of the Bradford house title owned by my ex husband. Is this correct? Once we purchased the Bradford home together the price went up. In my opinion, Bradford house should be sold and money split or ex can buy it and compensate with half of the proceeds of a sale. How can I defend my rights and pursue my lawyer to split the second house either through the sale or garnishing the portion of the money as if the house is sold in the current market conditions? Thank you.
