Divorce Allimony when does it stop

Shit, with this behavior I'd divorce you too!

His last line was just asking for help......not so bad

In divorce, there are many variables. I know a woman that worked and sent her husband through school. Later he became very successful. In her divorce, she was granted the house, the country house, half his income even his income after he retires.

Stories like these " I know a woman" are complete bullshit. No one in Ontario "gets everything". No one. Cite the case where this happened. U til then I call bullshit

Yes, it has been done many times.

You have to show that there has been a material change of circumstances. Typically it is when the man retires, gets fired, is injured and cannot work, has a new family that effects his expenses.
Has your former wife had a change of circumstances, is she making more or less, is she purposely under-employed, is she failing to make full disclosure of her income and assets.

I could go on and on with literally 10 pages of questions that would have to be considered before a somewhat reasonable opinion could be offered.

A lot will depend on the exact wording of your original court order that set the terms of the support award. Did the court order provide for a set amount of time, does it provide for a period of tapering off the payments, etc etc etc.

I would suggest that you find a lawyer that does family law work and see about getting an opinion for a $500 flat fee. That should not be difficult to find. You can then have that lawyer meet with you and review your circumstances in detail.

Family law and divorce is so fact specific to each situation that general advise almost useless.

Finally you should also consider the downside risk, beyond the cost of the legal fees (which get greatly exaggerated in the anecdotes that people talk about), do you want your former wife to reviewing all of your current financial circumstances? There is a fair chance that she will want the monthly payments increased. It get's back to you obtaining some solid legal advice from a lawyer that can get all the details.

Best advice I read on any board period. This man is absolutely correct and be careful of the financials. You will have to share them and if she finds you made more....you might get hurt.

My advice to anyone- Fight to the death the first round of spousal. Do not agree on anything as it will be hard to change.

As a younger guy that's not married, I find this thread enlightening. I don't plan on getting married but if I move in with someone I'm definitely getting a prenup.

This is what my female lawyer told me (one of the top in Toronto)- Next time you get married stay at home and let her work...like my husband did to me, She pays him spousal support..

But seriously common law is better . Spousal is almost impossible to get with common law.

Good thing I don't let faggots near me!!

Why is it that every time you speak the whole room smells of sea-men?

Common law is EQUAL to a marriage certificate after 6 consecutive months living together under the same roof in the eyes of the court!!
There is no simpler way to state this - unless Joe has some real info regarding the law that I miss quoted my lawyer on!!!

I believe BigFloppy is correct here. From the Department of Justice:
A "separation" is when a couple decides to live apart from each other because the relationship has broken down. The couple may be married, or they may be unmarried but living together like a married couple in a common-law relationship. A "divorce" is when a court officially ends a marriage. Only legally married couples can divorce. Under Canada's Constitution, the federal, provincial and territorial governments share responsibility for family law. Provincial laws also have rules about child support, spousal support, and custody and parenting arrangements for children. These laws apply when an unmarried couple separates and when a married couple separates but does not apply for a divorce. Some matters always fall under provincial law in both separation and divorce cases. For example, the provinces are responsible for the administration of justice, including processing divorce applications and making decisions about child support, spousal support and child custody.

This is just sad. BigF is spewing a load of shit.

After BigF's PM demanding my name and place of employment I have put him on ignore.
I genuinely believe that he has mental health problems so discussion is pointless.

He probably just binge drinks every three months and smokes a lot of crack.

I surprised no one has said, 'when one of you die.'

Which will probably be my case....

Without any lawyers involved could the husband and the wife work out a satisfactory agreements at point of divorce? What if he found out he's gay so he left her with the million dollars home and walked out with nothing. And, they have no childrens so child supports is out of the equation. I mean couples could find a peaceful solution for divorcing each other without really paying high priced attorneys? Right? Or, I am naive to think there's no such thing of a smooth transition divorce from two 'understandable adults'? Oh, he makes less than hers so it helped to get a quick resolution on the divorce as well.
