VerifiedThank you for your question. My name is Debra and my goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.
To achieve that goal it may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.
But, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
Is this a legal marriage or a common law relationship?
How long has this relationship been going on for?
What province is this please?

Oops sorry i hit wrong button. No not yet. I just learned
No not yet. I just learned today, my adopted mother is trying to place my sister in the care of the brother, who molested me years ago, when the mother passes on. She is 74 yrs old. She has crohn's disease and is getting older. I guess she's trying to make sure my sister is put in a safe home. I had an alcohol and drug addiction 7 yrs ago. I am now clean and sober. My children and grandchild, who is autistic, resided with her until I could get my life in order. However, my children and grandchildren are not living with her anymore but live near her still. She used my addictions to get custody of my middle child n grand daughter. And given my state at the time, I felt were ok to be there. Now the granddaughter is in another home more suited for her needs. My daughters now have their own homes. … read more
