I've been a Stay at Home Mom for 15 years.
Since ex and I split up in Nov 2011, I have mostly been living off my cashed in RRSPs, Child Tax benefits and what ex cares to throw to me(no SA).
I'm looking at $11k spent/given to the lawyer so far and we are now in court (me as Respondent) though have not yet had our case conference.
It just recently occurred to me that I could qualify for Legal Aid. Yes...duh...this had never occurred to me until recently...
What is the upside of claiming it?
Any downside(s)?
What do I need to know?
My lawyer takes it.
All info much appreciated, thanks
