Hello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.
Debra, Expert
Please let me know the basic facts and then your specific legal question.
Thanks
we are from Muslim family. my brother in law has not been behaving normally for the past several years but my sister has suffered and endured his abuse over these years for the sake to keep marriage and for the future of her children ( 3 sons all adult) living together in Mississauga. my sister is a home maker not earning any money. she has been helping and serving husband and children all the time, as per Islamic values. she is educated with bachelors degree from India.
My brother in law has been supporting his relatives back home in india, such as his brothers/sisters/uncles/aunts with all his earnings all these years. currently, he has started taking money from children's earning and sending money to India for his relatives. this action is causing serious financial distress to my sister and her children. children need money to continue their higher studies. Dad is forcing his children to give money.
My brother in law is suffering from some sort of psychological disorders (panic and AD disorders related to lacking focus concentration)
he has a house on his ownwership in india. we are supervising the house as he is canada.it is learnt that my brother in law wants to sell the house in India and give divorce to my sister in near future and use and keep all the money from the sale of this house to him only, without any share to my sister or her children.Specific Legal Question
my sister does not want to take divorce.
she does not want sell the house in india which is meant for her husband, her safety in future and meant for their children finally.
she does not want to harm her husband in any way.
she want to protect the financial future needs for her husband, herself and importantly her children.
what is the best legal way to do so to cover the above points.your prompt action is appreciated
Debra, Expert
When you keep saying your brother in law is doing all of this you are talking about your sister's husband correct?
So you see all of this but your sister does not? So she wants to protect her husband who is the one doing all of this or am I misunderstanding?
this is how Muslim woman think of husband and believe God will recompense for all her patience and sufferings. however. now his intention to sell the house and spend all the money on his relatives back in india has crossed her patience level.
the question is how to protect the financial situation for her future and children without harming husband.what is the best way to achieve what she wants. i am still waiting your advice for the legal question.
Debra, Expert
A court in Canada will not be able to help with the property in India but if the court in Canada is determining the division of assets your sister will get more in Canada because the husband has more elsewhere.
The adult children should absolutely stop letting him take their money. Their mother is totally dependent on this man who seems to care much more for his family back home. They need to be educated and also to save as much as possible in case this man takes off and leaves them all without funds.
Your sister should be considering seeing a family lawyer now. The husband likely has. By sending all the money to India he may be setting her up for him to leave and just run off. For all we know the family is holding that money for him.
Does that make sense?

Yes but I am sure your sister won't do it.
She can retain a lawyer who can seek an order called a preservation order that would stop him from dissipating the family assets.
What you can do to find your sister a lawyer is one of the following things.
You can contact the Law Society and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be free.
The number is:
1-***-***-**** or(###) ###-####(within the GTA)
Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
