Hi, I am new to this, my husband and I have been split for 2 1/2 years and we have a 3 year old daughter, We have already been to court for custody, which I have soul custody of our daughter. He wants a divorce which is right up my alley also, he pays child support of only 175.00 as he was working under the table and I couldn't prove his income, now he has a restaurant under his name. Before I sign the divorce papers I need to know what I have to do in order to go after spousal support or have him pay for the debt he has put me in. We split after only 11 months of marriage....Keep in mind I am in Canada, any help whould be greatful thanx in advance! we are basically prolonging the inetible, I am bitter towards him and the love faded on my part, he is still holding on, but I am going through so much emotional abuse and stress from him. He is not a father and never will be, now he has a new restaurant and I am left 25,000 in debt and on social assistance, My daughter keeps me positive!

Hanna,


Hi. I think you need professional legal advice regarding your situation. I don't know if there's the equalivalent of a legal aid office in Canada? Check with your local clerk of courts or check with a social service agency. You'll need all the documentation you can find plus an attorney.


Good luck.
