A friend of min is going through a separation from a 5yr long relationship with his common law wife, They have no children together, but they each have children from other marriages.
His income potential is lower than hers but she recently quit her job and is now on unemployment. He is also supporting his ex-wife and his children.
She gets child support from her previous ex who she is still LEGALLY MARRIED to, but I dont believe she gets spousal support from him
She is threatening him with a contract stating that she will continue to receive certain benefits and keep some of his more expensive belongings (which he bought with his own money) - or- she will take him to court for spousal support. Shes changed the locks on their rented home so he cant get at his belongings.
Can she do this?
Will she actually be able to get support from him or will she have to pursue her ex husband first? What about the fact that her education / income potential is better than his?
Is she within her rights to withhold his possessions?
Thx
