First of all, to Grace, I am sooooo happy for you that you are finally finished and that it didn't go to trial after all. Good for you for hanging in there!!!!
A friend has a legal separation since 2002. He Pays a substantial amount of spousal support. He received a phone call from his ex today, who does not live in Ontario now but at the time of separation, did. She is applying to start collecting her cpp this fall. She said she needs him to sign a piece of paper saying she looked after the kids all the time they were growing up. Actually the way I understand it, she mostly did, with the exception of a few odd jobs. Wouldn't CPP know by her pensionable earnings how much she worked and how much she was at home? She said by getting this paper signed it will give a small increase in what she is entitled to in cpp.
Has anyone had any experience or know anything about this. I said I think he should run it by his lawyer before he signs anything. He doesn't even know what the paper is.....it's in the mail to him.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
