Hi,
I am in the process of separating and like so many of you have so many questions. How is it that people are separated for years without filing for divorce? Is it that they work out a separation agreement without filing or is it in some provinces you don't need to file for divorce to complete a separation agreement. Or is it that they don't actually have financial issues to work out? My lawyer states that it is much more economical (cheaper) to file for divorce and start the process that way.
If you have sole custody of your children, does the non-custodial parent still have to pay child support? My husband shows interest in our children but then at times he will say he might just give me sole custody but then he doesn't have to pay because child support is his way of ensuring he sees his kids. He even went as far as to say that I could have sole custody if he could save all of the monthly child support and give it to our children on their 18 birthdays. He is so worked up about the money issue that he doesn't even seem to get why child support is in place, AND he is very intelligent, successful man.
I'd appreciate any answers or suggestions you have.
