    Suffered spousal abuse, and now feeling lost.

    Ah, I see what you mean. That makes a lot of sense. Though I still don't know how I am gonna afford a lawyer. I'm broke, working class, and only have a couple hundred dollars to spare. My wife's new boyfriend has a parent who is a major company CEO, and lives in an expensive condo. So I'm sure...

    Suffered spousal abuse, and now feeling lost.

    I was aware of her responsibility to me financially, and I did talk about this with the community health counselor I spoke to. I was afraid that if I stayed in Canada and did get social assistance, it would only result in her frequently contacting me and harassing me... or escalate to worse. On...

    Thank you, I will look into those options. She has been sending me emails trying to get a hold of me, and I have so far been ignoring them. I have her blocked on all other social media, and she doesn't have my new phone number. So that's covered at least. As far as anyone "on my side" I don't...

    Suffered spousal abuse, and now feeling lost.

    Someone had mentioned that to me in person as well, but I couldn't find any information expanding on it. Do you know? Where and how exactly am I to go to receive these free legal services? I did go to the courthouse, the family law building, and another legal aid building. None of them really...

    I may have a screenshot of some of it, but the posts are all deleted now. The posts were passive-aggressive and vague enough that they would seem "innocent" to people not in the know. And beyond that, it would just be he-said she-said, my word against hers. Those kinds of cases usually don't go...

    Suffered spousal abuse, and now feeling lost.

    Yeah... I am aware of that now. All of the crazy stuff happened in the span of 3 weeks, and was just so disorienting, I didn't know what to do. I would not stay in the same room with her now, and am currently thousands of miles away. As for joint accounts, I closed our joint bank account and...

    Suffered spousal abuse, and now feeling lost.

    Thank you for this straight forward info. About the "abandonment fee" I had a feeling she was making this up, as I wasn't able to find anything on here, google, or the CIC website about it. And for the quesions 4-7 about a Family Lawyer, is there a way for me to do this from the USA? Would I...
