My ex and I split up a few months ago. She is now threatening to take this to court, when I have asked her to settle outside of court and she refuses to send me a list of what she would like from the posessions. Currently I still have most of the possessions that didnt belong to her directly including the appliances, electronics, furniture etc.
We lived together for about 4 years total.
First question.. Is common-law retroactive? By that, I mean is common-law effective from day 1 after we have been living together for 3 years, or is common-law effective only AFTER the third year ends?
Secondly, her income was much much lower than mine, I have proof of this by tax records. When i was not at work (on my days off, and after shifts), we split the chores with my son evenly, as well as most of the housecleaning. During my time of unemployment, we split all the chores basically in half. I still made about 3-4 times as much as her.
Her average pay was in the area of $300 biweekly, my average pay was in the neighbourhood of $1100 after taxes, and union dues. This does not include overtime which I FREQUENTLY completed.
A number of semi-major purchases were made together including a 42inch tv ($1700), fridge, washer, dryer (500, 700, 400, respectively), bed ($1500). I financed a vehicle as well after about 2 years of being together, the monthly payment is $250. Insurance on the vehicle was about $140/month.
$1000 of the TV, and about $1000 of the bed were placed on my line of credit, which was/is solely under my name, she had no access.
The bed, washer and dryer were bought on an account featuring both of our names. The TV was purchased on an account featuring solely my name.
We both have laptops, both purchased on an account under my name.
The couch and armchair were gifts to myself from my parents, as well as my stove. My sons bedroom set is mine from before the relationship. The dishwasher I got for free and self-refurbished.
What should I expect here?
If she takes the tv, does she have to pay the $1000 that I had to put on my line of credit.
Im just not sure what to expect...
