Hi all,

I was kinda in hibernation mode for a few days when my sister suddenly nudged me referring to an article that was published in april 2012 it featured my ex and her ambition to start a new jewellery business it also stated that she had already sold some jewellery at local exhibits but the business has yet to be registered.

now suddenly my ex has started offering me to keep my son the entire weekend, which is very strange because previously she would prove to be very difficult if i wanted any extra access. it may be a sign that she is doing more exhibits or has registered the business (or dating? lol)

how do i find out of a person has a business registered to their name?
 
Do you have a clause in your agreement that the incomes of both parties will be reviewed on an annual basis? That is the time to find out.

Just because she has a business, doesn't mean that business is profitable. Many businesses take a couple of years to become profitable.

actually multiple purposes.

1- when she brought a motion for spousal support (may 2012) she never declared that she has a business or that she had made any sales of jewellery.

2- since she falsely stated that our family gold (worth 37-38k) was not with her and then this evidence that she was selling jewellery at local exhibits combined with the fact that she is refusing to provide any receipts for the SS & CS she already received as well as has not provided her T4/income tax return since separation are considerable to establish an individual who is corrupt and in future may help to argue either a contempt motion (harder) or at least an argument that an income higher than what she claims to be earning and thus cancel her SS.

there is SA in place yet, but in the financial statement every one agrees to provide an updated financial statement as soon as circumstances change such as above.

agreed on profitability, however a declaration is a reasonable expectation, isnt it?

How do you give her the money? Not cash I hope......

Good to know there are reasons. Elaborating helps us to understand and better answer questions.

yup not cash, paid with cheques initially and then FRO, but FRO dosnt accept canceled cheques (of course, they are representing the 'ex', they have to behave just like her i.e. be a bxxxh lol) also CRA prefers receipts though canceled chques are considered too.

but the bottom line is i want to know if any one knows how to find out if a person owns a business.

Make a Request for Information using Form 20 under Rule 13 of the Family Law Rules.

Attach the article about the company and ask for all the business documentation and information, income, etc as part of the disclosures required for the determination of child support and equalization etc...

There is a lot of information on this site about how to do this.

Good Luck!

That would work if we had a cooperative party, she has blatantly lied that our gold is not in her possession, refusing to give me receipts of the money she has already received. Of course she is never going to acknowledge that she owns a business, there's got to be another way around it.

Then... You do what the Form 20 says... You file a motion requesting the disclosure, write an affidavit attaching the Form 20, cover letter requesting the disclosure and ask the court to order the disclosure as requested and attach the evidence.

You don't do anything else in the motion request. Give them 20 days to do the disclosure and if they don't, you do what the Form 20 states... You file a motion to get the disclosure and request relief from the court and your costs.

You want to demonstrate that the other party is unreasonable. You make a reasonable request in accordance with the rules... When they demonstrate that they don't follow the rules you file a motion and request relief.

Order for the disclosure and your costs for having to bringing the matter to the court when the other party could have simply provided the disclosure.

You have an online article about the company.

I will dig up what you should put in your Form 20 request later and post it and a covering letter to help you.

Good Luck!

Could you not put a request in through the privacy act? I would call them first to see how to word it properly and if you even can put a request through. There is a very small fee, $5.00 per request.

Do you know the name of the business that she intends to register? That would simplify things.

Now, I think you would have to word the request (if you even can request the information), something like, who is/are the registered owners of Name of Business. This is public information, so you may not even have to go through so much trouble, but call and somebody at the Privacy Act might be able to help you on that.

Access to Information and Privacy

Just an idea...worth a shot. We had a similar issue with my husband's ex, but never pursued it.
 
thanks a lot tayken, i have sent the request, though i am sure she wont respond, and i am not sure what the motion would do.
 
yes, legal aid fueled negative solicitor whos lies i have uncovered with documented evidence to the contrary to the judge, however now there is going to be a new judge because the previous one is transferred therefore the cycle of building repute starts again
