We have been living together as common-law and have a small child. Her name is not on the title of the house and she has not contributed any $$$ to the mortgage, property/school taxes and utilities etc. which I don’t have any problems with as my salary is about twice as hers.
I have done some research and I know that she wouldn’t have any claim whatsoever to the house (not because she doesn’t contribute to its upkeep, but rather because her name is not on the title).
We don’t get along well and we both know that we will split up. Only thing is that each time we discuss this she would say that she can leave - but she will take the child with her. Of course I don’t agree. Basically she is using the child as a pawn. 50/50 is at least what I am after as I know it is in the best interest of the child. The child is small but has been in daycare after mom finished mat-leave.
So now I’m at this dilemma – we know the relationship is over, but she doesn’t intend to leave unless she takes the child. What should I do?
So far on the surface we can still manage to live under the same roof and be civil. I know any moment I start to push her things will get worse. How can I arrange her to move out and to keep 50/50 for the child? I really don’t want to get it to court or call police but is there a way I can just ask her to leave?
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
