hi I'm Luna came to Canada 3 years ago from China. we got married in 2010 and have a son of 9 years old. when my ex moved out in October 2020, I was still a full-time student in a college. I had a part-time job of $20/h ($1,500/m), he was earning $120,000/y, he only paid me $1,037/m for child support cuz my son is living with me all the time. now I graduated and am earning $70,000/y. I think I missed my best chance to file a court application to get spousal support cuz I didn't get a good lawyer. I have changed lawyer 5 times, they either sent me bogus bills claiming hours they didn't work or dropped me cuz they don't do court. I'm not familiar with the law system here and I feel so hopeless all the time. I have a few questions, I'm grateful for any help you can give me.
1. Am I entitled to SS considering our income? his lawyer claimed since I'm self-sufficient, I'm not entitled SS.
2. who decides which items are ligit on the financial disclosure? for example, he claimed a $35,000 of tax for changing residence use from rental to principal residence. when do we know this claim is not valid? until to the court or during the conference before court?
3. Can I claim retroactive SS on financial disclosure? my current lawyer said no.
4. mostly importantly, please recommend a badass lawyer to me who is based in Ottawa.
Thank you so much!
