I've been browsing Jeff's web page and this forum and it's all been good reading...
But here is my situation in Ontario:
I left my ex husband for this man that I have been living with since 1991.
We've been engaged since 1992 and just never got married. He took us on. (two daughters like his own, one was 7 and the other was 3 at the time,) they are now 21 and 18) We've lived together in apartments and finally bought a house 8 years ago. (It's in his name as I had to go bankrupt with the first Ex)
Now he says he isn't happy and wants me to leave. Just like that!
He told me I can take the furniture.(which is all mine btw., he had nothing when we moved in..nothing except his tools and the clothes on his back)
We've never had a joint bank account, He's paid the mortage and bills. I've paid the insurances (house,cars atv) and all groceries and clothes and lots of renovations to the house. I've incresed the property value but thousands just in gardenning alone, not to mention kitchen flooring ect ect...
Now..we still owe about 70,000 on HIS house, and he informs me that he will give me just half of the equity in the home..which would be about 15,000 if I am lucky...
15,000 for a lifetime of memories and hard work.. and to boot I still love this man desperately.
What are my rights??? What am I really intittled to???? Help me..please..this is heartbreaking to me....
Thanks
