Hello all,
I am new here, so not entirely savvy with this system but here is my predicament: My ex-husband and I were married in 2004, we separated and I moved out in 2006. We have a 5 year old. We have always had an amicable relationship, no divorce, no separation agreement, just a friendly verbal agreement.
We were married in Ontario, but lived in Quebec at the time of separation. He still lives in the house. I haven't requested or taken any money from him as we share our child 50/50.
I found out today that his new girlfriend is pregnant. I'd like to know what my rights are as a parent, and if we can go to mediation in Quebec or if I should hire a lawyer in Ontario. (As I mentioned, he lives in Quebec, I live in Ottawa). I don't want my daughter to miss out on any extra-curricular activities and I don't think I should have to foot a bill for her clothing, school supplies etc. I should also mention that he makes 100k per year, I make 35k.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
