It gets worse - after 3 DRO meetings which were basically useless she has filed another motion for a settlement conference. She is once again trying to get my property to reduce her portion of Section 7 expenses (my son going to U in 7 months). I am going back to court tomorrow. This is nearly 3 YEARS after the FINAL SETTLEMENT that took 2.5 YEARS to reach. The legal system and men's rights suck!!! I will try to stay calm...

@@donpabloanulysse5331 I went to court again March 2020 and this time finally a judge told her to stop it and cease making claims for more property after the final settlement. I got screwed. She has a government indexed employer pension. Since the court date my retirement fund has gone down a lot and it will take several years to recover. While she can just collect the gold plated pension with no worries ever.

Update. 5 years after the FINAL SETTLEMENT she sued me for retroactive child support, because although I'm completely up to date (wages garnished from my pay cheque) she saw an opportunity to get even more to help her pay off her mortgage and retire sooner. I'm making 50% more without her in my life. She's just being a financial parasite, to benefit herself while not spending any increase in support on our son. 25% of my take home pay goes to her, 35% to tax, leaving me with 40%. Yet it is worth it. Life is better.

Did I hear right? A common law marriage is not a legally binding contract without a court paper saying so? My mother is sadly on her deathbed in a hospital, her so-called common law male live in partner is trying to connive himself into her will which I yet need to see. I want to get all of her assets noterized to get her out of Ontario care and into private care. I'm so unhappy that someone pretends to love a partner for ulterior selfish motives.

Does the 3-year living together rule apply to all of the Canadian provinces? In New Brunswick, if we've been together 2.5 years and then broke up (and still living together until he moves out), is the label of common law non-applicable? (for information purposes only of course!) Thank you!

Hi, im wondering if u can help clear something up for me and thank you I would appreciate it so much if you could. Here is my question, what if one person in a bf/gf realtionship that had been going on for about ten years. Lived together on and off again and one is on welfare/odsp and after their breakup, the one on welfare/odsp sues the other through a "unjust enrichment claim", Is it still able to get it aproved by a lawyer and judge to go through? Even though the person who is welfare/odsp already has another house on his name and has limits on what assets and on how many properties that a welfare/odsp re allowed to legally own while under welfare/ odsp ? From what i have checked, Odsp/ welfare has limits on how much assets a person is allowed to have while they are on income support such as that and any extra properties/assets were supposed to be reported to welfare/odsp , since Odsp/welfare support program only allows one vehicle and one property , unless some special circumstances arise but it must first be reported to and aproved by the odsp office first. Which the person who is trying to sue me did not do. So they already have another house on thier name and the one that the person is trying to get half ownership of is on my name , and he cannot legally own another or half since they are limited on what they can invest and own . he is on odsp/ontario works welfare support program , so he has restrictions on what hes allowed to own under income support. So based on all that, can a unjust enrichment claim get aproved by a judge to go forward still ? Or no ?

@ceasarsalad119 Жыл бұрын

The issue here is that she'll cause a fuss and won't sign. A guy has two choices - he says nothing and runs the risk of losing half of everything when she loses interest OR he does as you suggest and she makes a big deal out of it and leaves.

@@ceasarsalad119I did this, it's was called a cohabitate agreement back in 2009. She wasn't happy at first even got her friends to badger me about it. Eventually she signed it as she wanted to move in. While I was working away she was always playing naked twister with another gentleman and inevitably it ended 6 months later. The last thing she said was I bet you are glad I signed that piece of paper. I said yes and closed the door, goodbye and good riddance.

If you had a house before the relationship, it wouldn't be included anyway, even in traditional marriage. It's 50/50 of stuff acquired during a marriage only. So... in this example, there was nothing to "loophole" your way around in the first place. If you bought a house DURING the relationship, then it is unlikely to do anything either. The court will view the real estate as 50% hers generally, so collecting rent from her will be seen as deeply unconscionable (since she would be paying for something she already owns, they'll see it as just a plain flat out scam) and you'll probably just end up owing her all the rent money back AND 50% of the house. Instead of some dumb "loophole" that barely makes any sense in the first place logically, just get a prenup to cover these issues (or the equivalent of a prenup for common law which is a cohabitation agreement). They aren't 100% but they're way WAY more likely to hold up than whatever bizarre tenancy shenanigans you are planning.
