Scorp,

Okay...this is quite complicated with the Canadian laws that seem not to have a formula for joint custody in place. Wow.

If what your W did is "technically illegal", then what are your options in this? Is filing for D the ONLY recourse you have? Don't you guys have controlled legal separation (CS) that spells out shared custody schedule, and financial matters (paying mortgage on house, joint bills, kids activities) up in Canada?

For now, I am going to ask you to rework your draft and try to whittle it down to 1 to 2 paragraphs. Can you do this? Then post your draft here again for some input and feedback. smile
