Hello Everyone,
First of all I would like to thank very much each one of you who will take their time to answer my question. I truly appreciate your time and effort.
I am separated since July, 2012. We were married for 25 years. Since 2006 I am receiving CPP Disability and Private Insurance (RCB) benefits. I have been diagnosed with depression and other mental disorders in 2006. Since 1993 I have been on my husband's Extended Health Benefit Plan from his workplaces. Before we separated he "promised" to me that he will never cut me off these benefits because he understands how important these are for me.
My medication cost is $400 per month, I use psychologist, accupuncurist, massage therapy for my mental issues, I need glasses, I have feet problems and need orthotics, I have very little teeth left and soon all of them need to be removed and I will need denture.
Three weeks ago my husband sent me a text message notifying me that he asked his employer to discontinue my extended health benefits as of November 1, 2013 (policy renewal date). As of this month I will not be able buy my medication because I simply cannot afford it. CPP disability and my private insurance do not cover the cost of medication. Trillium Plan is does not apply to me because of my income bracket.
We have two sons who are 19 and 20 and both are studing full time at college. Both boys are living with me. My ex is only paying the minimum amount (according to tables) for ONE of our sons ($290).
Please can anyone advise me if I can go to court and get an order to have my husband reinstate my benefits? What do I need to do if I have to go to court? No separation agreement has been signed. I did not file an Application for CHild Support yet. No other court action has been started. I applied for legal aid but they want to put a lien on my house. I ma looking at JusticeNet lawyers but even this will be difficult for me to afford. My mortgage is high and expenses with two adult sons at home are big too.
Thank you everyone.
