In the agreement it stated that her ex would never touch the child governments supports and now she is demanding half.This was in lue of my Partner going after the house or anything really... Thank you for your time
JA: What province are your partner and her ex in? It matters because laws vary by location.

JA: What steps has she taken so far?
Customer: Over the years they have gone back and forth to court and more recently the mediation system when her ex was unemployed
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: It seems like every time she takes us to court she keeps getting more and the sep agreement is no longer applicable
