Since this was 2nd M I always kept my own bank acct, c card. I don't know if Canada is community property like here. Everything from day one of marriage is split 50/50. H is buying me out of house. Also am getting 41 months of spousal support. And I get half out retirement acct. since we got married. It works out to 50/50. But of course with me no child support involved. Have you seen a Lawyer? Maybe he has and that gives him the upper hand. Knowledge is power and you need it. I've heard here on boards first appt. is free.
