Hi,
I am hoping that I will be able to get some advice on my fairly new situaution.
I seperated from my husband of 28 yrs almost 1 year ago.
We agreed on a seperation agreement and divided the assetts quite amicably and I did not seek spousal support. We have a fairly good relationship as we have 3 young adult children.
I have met someone else and we have been spending almost every night together although we do both have our own residences. He rents, I own. We have been together for close to 1 year
Although I love this new man very much I feel as though I have to be very careful about what assetts I do own as I no longer have a well paid husband to rely on, I am independent.
I own 2 residences, work full time and earn twice as much as what my boyfriend earns, I have a substantial amount of RRSP's and I make sure I contribute monthly to my future for retirement, which is still 12 to 16 yrs away.
Because I earn more I willingly pay for the majority of things that I call luxury items, BF is not that attracted to material things and can take it or leave it. I have no problem with the way our relationship is now and it is possible that we may marry one day.
BF can retire in 2 years on a company pension though it's not a lot of money, he has no RRSP's.
I need to make sure that I don't get into a position whereby I can be sued for spousal support in the future, I know it sounds glum but I have to be realistic. I want to make sure that what myself and my husband worked so hard for is protected and will go to my kids in the future
Am I over reacting here? Any advice is appreciated
Thanks
