I am in the process of getting a divorce from my Canadian husband, but he is fighting me on jurisdiction rights for the division of properties which are all in Ontario, Canada. I have been living in the UK for almost 5 years now and am planning to stay here after the divorce is finalized. But, my divorce case is going to Court here in July and if the Judge says I have to go back to Canada for the division of property, I guess I have no choice.
I would like to know what Canadian Law says about Jurisdiction and if I definitely DO have to return to Canada. If that happens, can I get Legal Aid there because I will NOT have a permanent address...as I no longer live in Canada...also, what about a Lawyer?
I am so stressed out about all this, as my husband has been fighting me at every turn and this divorce is not well into it's second year. To add to things, I do not have a job, as jobs are scarce in the town I live in and therefore I do not have any money to hire a Lawyer if I have to go back to Canada.
Can you give me some advice on what to do regarding my situation?
Thanks,
Jeri E.
