Hi all, My wife has asked for interim Spousal support after 2 yrs and 8 months. The judge looked at her and said "Why did you wait so long to ask?" DENIED!!
Thoughts on this?
Advice?
She is working full time and has been for a few years. She lives in our house which has no mortgage while I pay rent of $800. per month. She has three fully grown adult children all living at home and working full time. She has stated that she has not even considered asking them for rent. She has also stated in her discovery that she spends $5000. per year on vacations, while I can't afford to travel overseas, just drive within the province. She is a retired Airline employee with full flight benefits for life which I also enjoyed up until I left, and she still travels several times a year and as stated spends $5000 annually. Although I make more money annually than her, my standard of living has gone down because I don't have the use of my house or garage for my hobbies and I can't make use of the flight benefits any more to take annual vacations. (for which I am trying to assign a cost to, as I am now missing out on a Family benefit which was used for years, several times per year).
I pay for half of the house insurance and taxes as well as half of any maintenance costs associated with the house, although she has done very little maintenance on it in the past almost three years and now the roof leakes (tarped) and the neighbours are complaining to me about it being run down and her not doing anything to fix it. I have stated in my Discovery that I would like to buy her half of the house out, but then she also stated in her Discovery that she wants to buy me out. I have told my lawyer that although I would still like to buy her out, that I would give in and let her buy me out.
She has had my cars appraised professionally, lied to the appraiser causing them to be thousands of dollars overpriced, which of course forced me to have my own appraisal done which came in at the proper apprased price (which her appraiser agreed to after discovering that he was fed a line of crap), and he tried to lower his appraisal through her lawyer but he refused.
