Hi there, I am new to this forum and I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers or advice.
I am from UK and lived in Toronto for 6 years, 5 of these married to a Canadian. We are not happy at all and I wish to file for a divorce and eventually leave here to return to UK.
Could anyone advise me on the following:
A) Do we HAVE to have a Separation Agreement before we can divorce? I dont want to prolong this agony by a whole year. We plan to go the quickie route without lawyers, since we can easily sort out our finances and there are no kids involved.
B) If I left to go to UK and started the divorce from there, could he use abandonment as a reason for the divorce and I might lose everything? We have two houses that we have purchased together, both properties are in both of our names and we both contributed equally in terms of finances. One is fully paid for and the other has a small line of credit outstanding.
Any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
