My ex and I are trying to finalize everything and have it put into a final order. We each have new homes, I pay offset child support and about 8 months ago my girlfriend moved in. My ex wife had been living with her boyfriend for almost 2 years but he recently left. My girlfriend is not on my mortgage and I don't imagine that her boyfriends name is on her mortgage.
We are so close to settling things but now her lawyer wants all of my girlfriends notices of assessment and income information. We do not even qualify as common law at the moment and even if we did I am sure that no claim can be made for more money just because my girlfriend lives with me.
My lawyer has told me that I do not need to give them my girlfriends information and I don't intend to.
Could this just be a measure they are taking to ensure that I do not make a claim of undue hardship in the future? They could claim that because I live with a partner that there is extra money coming in, thus wiping out any such claim.
