He is right! I have been there, done that. She gets 50% of everything you have and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. I don't know how much you are worth..but if buying her a place to do her thing would be less than 50% of what you are worth....get a lawyer..strike a deal....she gets a place and signs off on any claim to your assets. If you think owning the condo before you met her means you get to keep it...think again. I owned my home prior and he managed to get a court order forcing me to put my house on the market so he could get his 50% out even though I had kids and no place else to go...he even managed to have it so that there was a 30 day closing. My home sold about an hour after it was on the market..I had 30 days to find a new place to live and no money to do so.

I can come kick her the fuck out... I'm in that kind of mood right now.

If the laws in Ontario are the same as in BC regarding this (I assume they are nation-wide) she is your common law wife and DOES have claim to your stuff.

If you can settle it all for $35K (get it in writing!) cut the fucking cheque today!

Hope it works out...

As for the people saying treat her like shit, make her life miserable, etc, etc....

I may be a young guy but I'm old enough to know that a woman will win that war 9 times out of 10. :(

Serious man look me up I have some angst :)

Yup.. She can't do anything and you can almost sue her for extortion. :1orglaugh

LOL, see my mother was right, once they move in, it will be hard to get them out. Especially, if you are a nice guy. Bad guys would have no problem throwing her out, an evil bastard would go to the police and file for a restraining order against her ass, and have the police come and tell her she has 15 minutes to grab what she can and get out. That way she can't come back around you without getting thrown in jail, and if she does, just keep reporting it, so when you have enough, call the police to take her away for aggravated stalking, which is 15 years in jail in Florida. Problem solved.

fake drama?

if they were in that situation... how could neither NOT know about the common law marriage rules? how could their LAWYER(S) not know?

throw gasoline on her and light a big cigar.
hope this helps. always seems to work for me.

You said "she knows her claim is zero".

Do *YOU* know that? For a legal FACT? From a lawyer?
If the answer is No you dont, then you better educate yourself first and foremost. Take it from there once you know 100% solidly where you stand.

50 Get The Fuck Out Bitches

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh What happens if the fire starts? Do you help her or keep smoking the cigar?

First, big thanks for the humour. I needed that.

Second, big thanks to Lady M, rapidly becoming one of my favourite people.

And the idea of throwing her shit out, and changing the locks is?.. very appealing. But I don?t think best in the long run. In the past the police have been called a number of times when she is drunk and harassing me. Once more should get her arrested, but I think she has learned that she can?t get in my face. Pity, in a way.

She can?t figure out why she can?t access her favourite web sites?. LOL

Selling the place falls into the ?cutting off your nose to spite your face? category.

As for the law on settling property after a relationship ends, there is a lot of confusion out there.

In Ontario, it is only property acquired during the relationship, and increases in value of property, that are subject to division. What I had when we met is mine, and what she has is hers. There is no sharing of that. An exception, if you are married (not common law) is the matrimonial home. That is split, as my father discovered to his chagrin.

She has a much greater financial delta over the time we have been together than I do. I can thank Nortel for a lot of that. But, if it gets nasty, I can sue her for cash.

She did apologize for how she acted last night.

I just want to move forward. Get her ass out sometime this year.

I have a new model, 21 next week, who has been getting her body smoking hot. And she sucks cock with a truly deserved cockiness. A DVD will come?and a web site. Life is good, and will get better!

Are you anywhere near Toronto?

I want to buy you a drink!
