but, Nunya, you just ansa you own question herso:

I live “common law” with my partner but we’ve never been married. Am I able to apply for a divorce?

No. You cannot apply for for, nor do you need to apply for one. Only married people, whether they are of the opposite or same sex, are eligible to apply. <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Despite your exclusion from the divorce process, you may still be able to apply to the court or negotiate a formal separation to settle support, child custody and other outstanding matters between you and your partner.</span></span>

According to oonu rules up deh...they are excluded from assigning things like fault. They do have the right to ask a court to settle other aspects of the relationship.

huh?
she could just be &quot;non-confrentational&quot; and never want no &quot;dramatics&quot; of doing it while he was home. <span style="font-style: italic">I'm just saying.... </span> </div></div>

Or she could just be devious and cowardly. </div></div>

easier to make the argument for non-confrontational than devious and cowardly.

k..that too. which is why a judge not gwine concern with the manner of HOW she left. In what you've presented here, it is irrelevant.

Re: Question

You knoa wha, I learn some tings today.

First that I would make a poor judge cawse just about all my rulings would be appealed or over thrown. Cause I would definitely take into account that she tek de man pickney an some a im nice tings dem an run gawn to nex man.

She prevent de man fram knowing whichawt im chile did deh fi weeks an de ongle ting im coulda get outta har madda was dat 'don't worry, __(the baby) is fine.' like dat suppose to put im mind at rest.

I would def tek into consideration that fi de ho much years she live wid de man, she neva put no real effort into furthering har education or getting a better job. While she was fine wid tekking care a de home, she was VERY fine wid being fully supported.

If mi was de judge, mi ooda find in favor of har getting child support and a LOAN fram bredda man, fi buy/rent somewhe fi live etc. an dat she haffi pay it back afta time. Wid interest to.

A people like dem gi ooman bad name man.

If she whe unhappy or feeling 'neglected' she shouldan try harder fi reconnect. If she did figga say dere was no reconnection, she shouldan did treat de man wid de same respeck im treat har wid an tell im say she waa split.

Ugh!

Anyway, tank oonuu. Oonuu complete me

Re: Question

that's about the only thing that the judge will take into consideration at the end of the day.

not that she left her man or how she left her man or whether dem did married or not or if she gwine get half of _____ or what.

at some point what I bolded may be held against her. you cannot just vanish with people pickney (even if you are the other parent).

on the other hand is not like she vanish to Dubai for 2 years.

but don't mi keep reading that canada laws not as harsh as american laws ?

suh at the end of the day the judge might not even take that into consideration that she did have the child MIA for couple weeks.

at the end of the day it boils down to the &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold">best interest of the child</span>&quot; and that is what going to drive the judge's decision, more or less.

a friend of mine here in the states divorce her husband for those reasons.. got a nice settlement too. </div></div>

But did she leave him for new man and then start bax bout when she find the grass not greener?
Ok so the relationship doesnt work for whatever reason you leave and when that dont work you think it is time to sue for alimony ... child support is always a non-issue from either parent so that I have no prob with. </div></div>

Same thing the friend of mine did.. and she did get a settlement and spousal support while she was in school.

edited to add: mi just notice seh she was an aesthetician before.. sound just like mi friend

Re: Question


I would still like to hear the woman's side of the this 'torey. I doan understand how she could just get up so and left this good good man without them having some form of disagreement or something - no fuss at all? and him never saw this coming? Him going to have to pay something - just like Halle Berry paying that young man $20,000/month - something just like that.

Re: Question

so if she went to live with another man should the second man not be the one who pays for her maintaince not the father of the child ???

So if she cant work to look after the child if the fathers says fine he will look after the child would that be an option so she would go to work ???

If she then then has subsequent children would the settlement be changed to reflect that the child care that she provides to the first child has been diluted ?

if she went back to work would the arrangement be changed to reflect that she is now supporting her self ??

Could the father pay for child care and then not pay for her maintaince so she could go to work ?
