When I seperated from my common-law spouse of 8 years a little over 8 months ago I was the one to move out. Before I left I went around the house with a pad and pen and wrote down what i wanted. I did after all pay for 50% of the items in this house over the last 8 years. I sat and talked to him about the items on my list. The entire time I listed items he was hemming and hawing about how I was trying to take everything from him. It was sad and pathetic. I ended up leaving the house with a mattress that I purchased myself, our inexpensive dining room table and one book shelf. He wouldn't let me leave with anything!
He still has a fully furnished 4 bedroom home. I couldn't furnish a two bedroom apartment. Because he wasn't paying child support i could barely afford to furnish my place.
Here it is months later and I"m attempting to get my $2000 fish aquarium that has been sitting in a spare room at his mothers house for 3 years. I bought this aquarium.
He is not letting me take it! He let me take nothing! He still won't let me have anything. I'm so mad I don't even know what to do.
What are my rights as a common-law person in Ontario? I saw something about being 'unjustly enriched' but that only seems to pertain to large items like homes and vehicles. Does it include furniture?
