From what I remember of Ontario Divorce Laws.
Get a book called Divorce in Ontario...I think that is what it is called.
Assets are divided based on what you have on your day of separation...so if you want your inheritance, divorce soon.
Assets and debts are divided equally, based on day of separation.
Child custody payments are based on your income vs your spouse's income: translation: the higher income gets screwed royally. Recent changes to Ontario's divorce laws do this. Child support is ridiculously high if your income is reasonable at all.
If you have been married more than 10 years, your spouse can get spousal support, until her death....even if she remarries. The amount is not by a formula, but it can be hefty.
Child support is no longer deductable off your taxes.
To make the divorce final: one year separation OR adultery OR emotional/physicial abuse.
Legally, a divorce agreement ends when the divorce is finalized...so get a separation agreement to handle child support, etc issues.
If you do the paperwork for the divorce yourself, the cost is about $200. That's assuming you and your ex agree on everything.
Email me if you wish.
