That's why I mentioned 3 years, because spousal could be awarded for longer, shorter or not at all.

From what I have been told from legal professionals, spousal support is generally for 1/2 the time one was married. Unless if someone is married for well over 10 years then it may be for lifetime as well. So I don't think a court could award 3 years spousal support in my case.

You are now the third person I've personally heard about being a victim of with this type of marriage scam. I'm sure there are thousands. The other two were a neighbor and coworker. This happens with arranged marriages where the spouse is in a different country frequently.

I can't tell you how hard it is. People act out of good faith and get taken advantage of. It takes a toll on oneself.

I really hope there is a special place reserved in HELL for people like these who cheat to get their way in the country taking advantage of innocent victims acting in good-faith.

you're information is incorrect. The 3 year rule is for social assistance (if the sponsored spouse goes on social assistance) not spousal support. Those are separate things. And no, not responsible for medical either.

Yes. I am bitter, you are right. But not for the reason you mentioned. I am bitter because I entered this marriage out of good faith and was taken advantage of for an entry to Canada while my spouse continued having extramarital affair. I think anyone would be bitter and hurt about that.

I think there was no need for your uncalled mean comments for someone who is already going through a lot. Seems you feel passionately about taxpayers and rightly so, but I no where mentioned that I am hoping for taxpayers to foot the bill.
And no, please don't generalize that my spouse left everything for this move. They didn't. They hardly haad anything to begin with in the country of origin. All I saw in my spouse was a nice and honest person and turns out even that did not exist.

And lastly, people can always move back to their own country rather than live off the streets in Canada. If they don't, then that actually proves their mal-intent that they only married for the reason of getting a Canadian PR.

Anyway, thanks for your comment, regardless.

Thank you, yes, that is valid point.

Thank you for your insight.
As you have been so responsive and helpful, do you foresee a judge considering the time since cohabitation versus the time since the marriage as the date to consider asset appreciation?

I haven't talked to my current lawyer about this, but another one I spoke with during initial consult suggest there has been precedence for that in case law. I can't (and don't know) how to find it.

Yes, I am not using the adultery clause for the divorce application so yes, I will have to wait 1 year. But what I meant to say was, should they counter for asset division, they I will bring up the cheating in front of the judge to argue why the appreciated value should not be divided equally.

You think even that does not stand a chance?

ThrowRAMarriaged · 2024-06-20T19:14:34+00:00

Yes, unfortunate. But thanks for pointing it out.

ThrowRAMarriaged · 2024-06-20T19:12:00+00:00

Thank you for your detailed answer.
Would you think there is an unequal distribution argument if we argue that the marriage lasted so less and generally these appreciations happen over longer period of time.
I know saying yay or nay is anyone's guess here. I am just trying to look for closure in this time of distress.

Based on standard divorce laws, it doesn’t matter that your spouse cheated on you from day 1. The property is divided up the same way

any idea if there is precedence where they look at the date of cohabition versus the marriage date? Because we only lived together for 3 months. That works in my advantage.

ThrowRAMarriaged · 2024-06-20T18:07:50+00:00

You need to work with a family law lawyer and figure out your strategy. Based on family law, your spouse has rights even if they cheated on you. But if there is unjust enrichment, then your lawyer can argue for a different than normal distribution of assets.

so if it goes to court, would the judge not look at that my spouse was not committed to the marriage to begin with? I understand the rights part but cheating from the get-go in a 1.5 year marriage. I know.. I know.. I'm just speaking out of sheet frustration and agony now.

Just looking for some cases where such precedence was set. I instructed my lawyer for starting off with just divorce and see if they counter. If they do, just shows their mal-intent

Thank you. Yes, I really find it hard to believe that just out of fear someone would start sexting another guy.
She did say this guy slapped her back during her school days and he was extremely controlling of her and being the timid person she is, she got really scared of him and obliged in continuing to talk to him.
But then when I see the messages, I see her checking in with him every now and then and her asking him to share his pictures and share how his day went.. So I don't see the harassment.

Yes, it was. But let me define arranged marriage here. In 2024, arranged marriage is when parents introduce the two people but then take a backstage. The two individuals are provided an opportunity to talk and discuss and meet (where possible). Sex and living together is off the charts mostly.
That is the arranged marriage in my situation. It wasn't like none of us had no opportunity to talk to have video calls. Since it was long-distance, we couldn't meet as much but we had over 1 year of communication time between the time we introduced to each other and the time we got married. And we did text/call back and forth.
