Divorced and Done

What do you do when your ex doesn't honour your freshly signed separation agreement? Send us a speakpipe or an email! This week Darren and Rob take a no-nonsense approach to dealing with pending family litigation, parenting agreements, and what to pack when heading to the beach! (spoiler: Rob needs his near beer and Hawaiian Tropic to feel at home, Darren splashes out on a cooler!) Later, Darren discusses the importance of parents ensuring children follow parenting agreements and Rob answers a question regarding parental alienation in separations. Darren also discusses the joys of outhouse racing in Interior BC while Rob gets ready for a new work trip.

This week is the second episode of Divorced & Done Etcetera, where we talk about issues not related to divorce or family law, but that we still think you may find interesting.

This week we're addressing two broad questions, first, when one parent wants shared parenting, but the other parent is the primary parent, how to prepare for mediation through Court. 

Plus, a listener raises a topic that we believe will be one of the biggest issues in divorce matters over the next 20 years: what to do when your ex's parents loaned you money to buy a house, then you separate, and the former in-laws want the money back. Was it a gift or a loan? With housing prices sky-rocketing in Canada, we believe the issue of inter-generational transfers of large sums of money will become more common as an issue in divorce. We share our thoughts on this critical developing issue.

This week we tackled three questions: First, when child welfare / protective services are involved with your family matter, can you access information that has not been formally provided to you? Second, a former partner is receiving both income and dividends from a closely held company. How can we assess what the payor's actual income is, for the purposes of child support? Finally, a listener is stuck, when a former partner wants half the sale proceeds from the family home, but he refuses to share the proceeds from the sale of his condo.

This week we received a SpeakPipe voicemail about a listener who has a valid separation agreement for her ex to buy her out of the family home with proceeds of sale from an out of province condo, but the agreement has not been honoured. What's next? Also, a parent who has not seen their ex for 7 years, with kids over 18, has not received child support. Is there still a claim to child support?

2022 was a big year in the family and divorce law world.  We discuss the three biggest developments.  First, the new tort of family violence (case discussed can be found here - https://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/2022/2022onsc1303/2022onsc1303.html ).  Second, our courts continue to take judicial notice of the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccinations for children.  Third, the return to physical courts for all things family law - like chambers dates, conferences, etc.

We take a run at some very thoughtful questions: what to do when mediation doesn't work and trial is inevitable? Also, how do you calculate child support in shared parenting arrangements per section 9 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines?

Welcome to the new Divorced & Done subseries, Etcetera! Without revealing too much in the show notes, we know our listeners care about their family matters, but we also know you like the light-hearted, non-divorce discussions that usually precede our family law episodes. This is the first of a regular conversation series between Darren and Rob, about things not related to family law, or as we like to say, let us tell you something actually interesting.  

Rob's Pickle Soup recipe is here: https://noblepig.com/2013/03/dill-pickle-soup/

Pro tip: instead of crackers, add crushed up dill pickle chips to the soup when serving.

If you like what we're talking about, or have something non-family law related you want to talk about, please let us know, [email protected] and SpeakPipe.com/DivorcedAndDone
