Hello and thank you for the service you offer.
I would like your opinion on how to proceed with a common law separation and what assets you believe should be split, shared and/or spousal support may be expected. (I understand this is a generic question and have no expectations other than your opinion.)
- living together 3.5 yrs
- back and forth between two provinces prior to cohabitation (mtl-tor, mostly my previous home)
- i sold all my belongings to move in, including home and car
- we live in house belonging to partner
- i paid for all utilities, food, etc for first 2 yrs
- i no longer work due to arrangement with partner whereby i care for home and lifestyle while he provides financially; i had professional employment prior to arrangement; no written agreement other than casual correspondence
- partner is in top 3% income bracket (explains need for my full-time support at home)
- partner has invested large amounts in the time we've lived together
- am in his will as sole benefiary and executor
- are engaged with detailed long term plans
- i've been sole partner caring for home, garden, renovations, upkeep of home, etc.
- i have no money or assets in my name, all finances have been joint
- i have developped health issues that would have hindered my ability to work full-time (but this is improving)
- have not been working at all outside the home for 1.5 yrs as per our verbal agreement.
Any input or recommendation you may have is appreciated.
Thank you,
TLR
