VerifiedThank you for your question. 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.
In Alberta spouses share in all assets acquired during the marriage. So it doesn't matter whose name is ***** ***** and it actually doesn't even matter who contributed to the value of the asset.
As well, if you cannot earn the same level of income he earns then he will be liable for providing spousal support.
I do suggest you consult with a family lawyer as your next step.
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:
1-800-661-1095 or (###) ###-####in Calgary
