I am going through a mediation process with a husband i lived with only 7 years.
he is asking for half of all assets... i dont have any money except my house which has been mine for 20 years.....if i cannot pay what he is asking...can he legally put a lien
on my house without my permission and signature....please answer asap
I am from ontario....I bought my house 20 years ago....married 7 years ago...
husband brought nothing to this marriage by way of material assets..and paid nothing
while living here...i covered all costs including insurance etc....why is he allowed to take
half of all my assets....
he also wants my car which he gave me as a gift for a wedding present...and wants
full value of 35,000.........its a 2001.....are these possible... i am devasted..
yiger, I know you came here for answers, but every divorce is different. If he said he gets half then he may be wrong seeing as you owned the house before marrying him.
As for the car, well it isnt worth 35,000 now if its a 200l, but why does he want money and the car ? I dont think so. If worse comes to worse, then the car will be sold and the proceeds divided down the middle.
You need a lawyer, get one, get the correct information for your own piece of mind as it seems your divorce may get unpleasant.
We are from all over, yiger, we have some Canadian experts. Sometimes our US experts can help with Ontario law. What is your question ?

thank you for answering....i have owned my own home for 20 years... i married 7 years ago....we separated after 7 years... he came to the marriage with nothing but the clothes he owned... i own all contents...payed all expenses insurances etc.... he wants half of everything including the car he gave me as a wedding gift... (only material thing i got...
he wants full value for car 35,000 and its a 2001....and then half of everything....i am ill
about this... I am 74 yrs. old...he is 87....i worked hard to get this....and have no excess
monies.... can he do this... he also signed a paper (not done by lawyers) and witnessed
x2 according to the law...apparently this will not work... what is he legally entitled to under ontario laws...

He may be entitled to 1/2 of the value of the assets but not the entire asset. It works on sort of a sliding scale. An increase in value of $10,000 would mean he gets $5,000. But your original purchase price and value of the home before marriage would be yours to keep. It can get complicated but thats how it works for you.
hi cal, I am familiar with it, I have been there and done that. Why is your answer different from mine ? I dont mind the reddie by the way, just wondering. My ex years ago thought he would walk off with half of a house I had bought and lived in for years before I married him. He was granted less then a third. I think this is what I was trying to convey. That is why I said every divorce is different, different circumstances, different assets, etc.
