House is in my name, we have been together for 7 years, we have a cohabitation agreement, I paid for half the house initially, he’s been paying his half of the mortgage which is in my name because he wasn’t working and poor credit,, also a second mortgage to pay off his credit card debts in my name,, we separated and sold the house, I agreed that his lawyer would hold the funds, my lawyer is sick and away indefinitely, I sign the cohabitation agreement that says we are joint tenants, which I don’t even know what that means, his lawyer drew up the agreement,, are the 2 mortgages to come out on his profit of the house?
Hi, im wondering if u can help clear something up for me and thank you I would appreciate it so much if you could. Here is my question, what if one person in a bf/gf realtionship that had been going on for about ten years. Lived together on and off again and one is on welfare/odsp and after their breakup, the one on welfare/odsp sues the other through a "unjust enrichment claim", Is it still able to get it aproved by a lawyer and judge to go through? Even though the person who is welfare/odsp already has another house on his name and has limits on what assets and on how many properties that a welfare/odsp re allowed to legally own while under welfare/ odsp ? From what i have checked, Odsp/ welfare has limits on how much assets a person is allowed to have while they are on income support such as that and any extra properties/assets were supposed to be reported to welfare/odsp , since Odsp/welfare support program only allows one vehicle and one property , unless some special circumstances arise but it must first be reported to and aproved by the odsp office first. Which the person who is trying to sue me did not do. So they already have another house on thier name and the one that the person is trying to get half ownership of is on my name , and he cannot legally own another or half since they are limited on what they can invest and own . he is on odsp/ontario works welfare support program , so he has restrictions on what hes allowed to own under income support. So based on all that, can a unjust enrichment claim get aproved by a judge to go forward still ? Or no ?
I have been victim of stalking since 2010, and earlier. Now stalking me has moved by criminals to being stalked by my own brothers, and some relatives, and neighbours. It is taking the forms of phoney calls, defamation, consistantly refusing job offer applications, harassments, and requesting to show my daily work scheduals. There is more to those harassmnets and I want to discuss how I can overcome this disaster.
Mens rights are in the gutter... But this lawyer explaining how things work to the lady while cooking a michelin grade dish was pretty boss
You can see she is a parasite eager to learn how to get a sucker to pay for her old botoxed ass
Im going on 6 years, just stuck here doing pretty much nothing
The perfect persona to play a Hedge Fund Manager
This is absolutely insane, just cause the woman lives with you for 3 years now she can fleece me? ... What kind of backwards ass country are we living in today, no way in hell i'm dating or getting married in this day and age and these people right here live off the misery of so many men and award con artist its boggles my mind how any of this is even legal, makes me wonder how someone can even do this for a living and sleep at night ... Putrid absolutely putrid.
Hello! My x gf has lied a year after breaking up and has filed for divorce even though I never married her and never agreed to marry. She changed the locks on me and took everything I own including my dogs and I still can’t get her out. I tried eviction court but the day after I filed for eviction she filed for divorce. She never brought a cent into the relationship and never paid any of our bills in our 4 years. I’m in shock over this. Is telling the court I never agreed enough? I’m reading a lot of mixed stuff. The house is mine and I paid every cent of all bills. She married someone else before we met and after 11 months divorced him and took a lot of his money. It is so stressful especially because I am in disability and unable to ever work again. She’s a professional con artist and seems to be very good at this. No joint taxes, bank accounts etc. Any advise would be really appreciated. Thanks so much!! I own the house in Texas.
What a stupid video of a very serious topic. Show us graphs and charts not some idiot cooking.
thats a great dish, its been a minute since ive had that one. I need to taste as I go however I can't build sauces like that by eye
The courts are unreal kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKGltruDepzSmrg.html
what was the question asked at this particular point of the interview? kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6lmra9phNHZebg.html what were you stopping someone from signing? Thanks for the videos , I'm learning a lot.
If your going to get married dont register it with the government Do it with god only If you register with the government you sign over your full rights it's like getting to marriage with the government not your wife
When your a member of the BAR? Your so full of shit! He only speaks of the jurisdiction of ADMIRALTY LAW OR LAW OF THE WATER (CONTRACT LAW) NOT THE SUPERIOR JURISDICTION! Law of the LAND IS THE SUPERIOR JURISDICTION WHICH IS COMMON LAW. NICE TRY THO!
Does the 3-year living together rule apply to all of the Canadian provinces? In New Brunswick, if we've been together 2.5 years and then broke up (and still living together until he moves out), is the label of common law non-applicable? (for information purposes only of course!) Thank you!
If your a man, don't get married and you never have to worry about divorce.
Lawyers will add fuel to the fire if you have assests. Remember, the judge let's the lawyers take from your home equity. You don't get a bill, they take whatever they bill you for.
Saving money in divorce is an oxymoron. The lawyers will drag it out if you have money. They will try to shorten it if your both broke because it's not worth their time.
If your a man with assests, don't get married. Let her come over once in a while but she has to go home when you get tired.
Women lose much more in marriage than men. They usually end up getting stuck with the kids and a man who complains about having to pay for her to babysit them 24/7. And I've heard of MANY women getting screwed out of their property. ANd having to pay alimony ~even at times when SHE had full custody of the kids. I've also heard a woman say her male lawyer told her that her instance of marital rape was not criminal. He told her that when she got married, she gave her body to her husband to use as he wished. And this was in 2008!!!!!! Yeah, women are f#cked when it comes to marriage. The whole history of marriage is to make women become the property of a man. Of course, prior to marriage she was already the property of a man . . . . her father. Oh, I just keep remembering all the horror stories concerning men 'making out' in the divorce. There was a story several years ago of a man winning some sort of large-sum lottery during his divorce. He felt it was unfair that he would have to give some of that money to his ex-wife-to-be to care for the children. The woman made a decent salary (though I didn't check it against the cost of living where she lived, so it might not have been that much. But it was a very good wage considering the area I currently live in), but he didn't want to pay for his own doggone kids to have a life where they wouldn't have to worry about the house getting foreclosed on. And wouldn't you know that this sk@nk hadn't paid any child support up until that time, even though he wasn't living in the house and his ex-wife-to-be was babysitting them full time. You can probably find this article online somewhere, It was one of the more notorious headlines of the day at the time. I assure you, if roles were reversed (the woman won the money and the man had custody of the kids), the woman would be totally shamed not only for not giving MOST of the money 'to her kids', but also because she didn't have custody. I know this as I am a non-custodial female parent who has to pay support to my ex, who is a man. I got so shamed just for the simple fact of not having custody. I also got shamed for not giving 100% of my measly paycheck to my ex. "You should be grateful that he is willing to take care of the child." IT:S HIS OWN KID! Of course he should be taking care of them!!!! SO misogynistic. Our society is a d!ck to us women.
🙄 Oh god. I love hearing men whine about how allegedly they're so wronged by the court system. 🙄 The exact system made BY them/FOR them. If you're losing at you're own game, then you are complete trash anyway and don't deserve much.
This can only be a good thing that CL doesn't force all of this entitlement down our throats. There is a divide and rule agenda that is being run by the wealthy people who run the world for the purposed of complete control. These are the ones enforcing this rubbish and its usually only against one particular demographic. (female) otherwise it wouldn't create division. If you look at the percentage of men who win vs women its obviously biased. Since 2020 they've been rooting out all of these rich folks and we're soon going back to full CL.
If you have a house in your name, before your gf/bf moves in get them to sign a tenant agreement. Loophole
The issue here is that she'll cause a fuss and won't sign. A guy has two choices - he says nothing and runs the risk of losing half of everything when she loses interest OR he does as you suggest and she makes a big deal out of it and leaves.
@@ceasarsalad119I did this, it's was called a cohabitate agreement back in 2009. She wasn't happy at first even got her friends to badger me about it. Eventually she signed it as she wanted to move in. While I was working away she was always playing naked twister with another gentleman and inevitably it ended 6 months later. The last thing she said was I bet you are glad I signed that piece of paper. I said yes and closed the door, goodbye and good riddance.
If you had a house before the relationship, it wouldn't be included anyway, even in traditional marriage. It's 50/50 of stuff acquired during a marriage only. So... in this example, there was nothing to "loophole" your way around in the first place. If you bought a house DURING the relationship, then it is unlikely to do anything either. The court will view the real estate as 50% hers generally, so collecting rent from her will be seen as deeply unconscionable (since she would be paying for something she already owns, they'll see it as just a plain flat out scam) and you'll probably just end up owing her all the rent money back AND 50% of the house. Instead of some dumb "loophole" that barely makes any sense in the first place logically, just get a prenup to cover these issues (or the equivalent of a prenup for common law which is a cohabitation agreement). They aren't 100% but they're way WAY more likely to hold up than whatever bizarre tenancy shenanigans you are planning.
@@gavinjenkins899wrong. The house u bring in is split 50/50 if that is the matrimonial home... aka...your primary residence. Additional homes u brought in are not split.
Why are women spoiled so much? Why are they treated like children, assume some responsibility for your actions!

My boyfriend ex wife is not ready to settle property in australia. They have joint properties. Both got divorced in India 1.5 yr back and where she agreed only on giving some amount monthly for kids who are in her custody in India. I am going to marry my boyfriend soon but his ex wife says that she will not settle property so that his ex husband cant marry me. Is it true? That After divorce wr cant marry if property settlement is pending? Pl suggest
Bullsh*t, the reason you sign a contract is to ensure a commitment, you can't reverse it afterward because "Oh, I didn't understand it", the signature is supposed to protect both parties from waiving the other.

Good video

wow.... this man is literally on the ball. Absolutely love and admire his personality. Amazing information, professionally and cleanly delivered. Thank you sir!
Is this a cooking channel or law channel. I can not focus my brain what he is saying when camera is zoomed to the cooking pan.
😂 me too wtf
Did I hear right? A common law marriage is not a legally binding contract without a court paper saying so? My mother is sadly on her deathbed in a hospital, her so-called common law male live in partner is trying to connive himself into her will which I yet need to see. I want to get all of her assets noterized to get her out of Ontario care and into private care. I'm so unhappy that someone pretends to love a partner for ulterior selfish motives.
Hello Peter, I love your easy-to-understand videos. I was under the impression that an eight-year common law marriage had to be acknowledged through the Ontario Government to make it legal? Her boy-friend who claims to be her common-law husband, put my mother in the hospital for Alzheimer where she is right now without consulting me. I am the eldest of three siblings. I'm worried about her life and the Will dispersant because she seems to be facing an imminent death. This man has caused a lot of her Alzheimer by forcing her to sell her condo and move in with him with his total control. Also, he scared away her friends and family with his extremely gruff manner towards anybody that could stand in his way. Now he's trying to connive himself into the main part of her will. This man is also a past widower and has remade her last will and testimony with her with his own lawyer a few years ago. I think he's done this before with his deceased ex-wife. I have no money to hire a lawyer to fight this. He has given me his Lawyer's number to discuss her Will even though she is still alive. If you can shed any light on this predicament I will be most grateful and hopefully relieved. Thank you.
Got it I think. Go to mediation and then litigation if needed. Thanks.
So is Gloria Allred…you want to talk about a family attack and live deceive… my ex made millions 2 months after finally getting his company sold.. for how crooked my attorney was… I have any and every document I need to back up what was ordered by the judge that was not follow through and I cannot afford to pay I just would like to go in front of the judge and ask him to make my divorce decree correct seems it’s not able to be done in Cass county Missouri … fraud… fraud .. fraud!
I got so railroaded in my Divorce. I would just love to see someone Cass county Missouri be accountable and the judge that I had to go on Branham was partners with my ex is Attorney there was so many things wrong in my case I would love to have a consult with someone that might take it on because it was so crooked… good old boy town. I know this pretty much futile but it does keep me up at night because my ex-has a multi millionaire and I got no alimony no maintenance so I just wish our justice system but prevail I don’t ever see it happening but wow but I’d love to get a phone call and tell the right person what exactly happened in my divorce case!
Ontario is so backward, when compared to the rest of Canada, in their common law relationship realization! I just have to laugh my ass off, @ the empty babbling of politicians, regarding their concern for equal women’s rights, when the common law situation in this province, exists in such an absolutely ridiculous manner! Men have no idea, NONE!, the situation they force women to remain in, while this common law situation remains as it is, here in Ontario! It’s the dark ages bullshit, in terms of womens rights!..nice salmon!…💁🏼♀️…✌🏼🇨🇦
What if both parties written waived right to an attorney
We need help ASAP can I get in touch with this lawyer?
Name another kind of legally binding contract that gets thrown out. It doesn't happen with the military or loans. The court treats women like children.
I really like this guy. He has a warm bright effervescent personality and clever wit. The wonderfull ability to make complex situations understandable with great story telling and humour. What an unusual lawyer.
The music is too loud, and it's getting in the way of hearing what the man is saying. Turn off the BGM entirely. The content is what everyone is here for, not the crappy loud music.
CAS is disgusting they took my childhood from me and I got abused I hate these fμ©k ers I hope all of them rot in hell Plus I have friends who have had it worse then me cuz of these pieces of $h¡T
And I was only 7 too all because I was autistic my parents are useless and CAS is evil parents need to be cautious and not be like my obvious old people parents who are stupid af
All those marriage and common law laws are completely nuts
Plumbing and divorce. 😆
This dude's a hack. I listened to his other YT video about regular & common law marriage. He was very very wrong. He claimed a person would lose 50% of property value in a divorce, even if the couple was married only a year. totally wrong! At least, in the state of Michigan (and probably most states). Michigan is an 'equitable distribution' state. Unless the divorce would leave one of the party destitute, the court takes into account how long the marriage lasted and who brought what income into the marriage. Furthermore, what one brings into the marriage leaves with that person in the divorce. Pre-marriage standing: House in her name? It's hers after the divorce. Car in his name? He gets it in the divorce. Everything acquired after the divorce is split up according to who can sustain that asset. Of course, the judge has a lot of say in this and has to do the best she/he can to make sure no one's left with an asset they can't afford AND make sure no one's left destitute. I would like to add, for those of you inquiring minds, I put this rant on this video because the comments on the other one was turned off. I guess this dude got a lot of flack for his misinfo on the other one ~that's probably why he turned comments off.
This guy is in Canada. The laws are probably different than Michigan.
In Illinois, what you said is not true. You said the judge will divide based on the "ability to afford". The judge gave my ex my horse farm and land without ever having a job. The judge doesnt care about ability to afford. The ability to afford as you state is wrong. If your a man, plan on losing 80% of all your assests, you will be close to actual.
@@georgesontag2192 Oh horsefeathers. I get so sick of you men claiming you're the injured party in divorce. Just stuff it. There's much more to this story than you're telling. It's like when men complain about having to pay child support. When I ask these men "did you file for custody?" they say "No. A kid needs their mother." Well, according to them apparently, the child doesn't need the father . . . . except to complain that he doesn't want to take care of his child physically OR financially. And this is coming from a WOMAN who has to pay child support. And I can tell you numerous cases of women allegedly getting major losses in divorce. Just take your MRA nonsense elsewhere.
Canada's provinces as USA's states have their own rules. Some different, some the same.
@@maryannvoll4195 That's my point! DUH! He's making a blanket statement. Total BS. Will NEVER trust this dude to represent me. If this was for Canada only, he should have limited the reach to Canadian viewers only OR put "Canada" or "Canadian laws" in the videos. I was searching for laws in the U.S. concerning common law (only a few states have ever acknowledged common law). This popped up when I typed in "Common law marriage in the U.S." SO he's not making it clear, at least to the algorithms of YT, that this is Canada-only laws.
I'm currently looking for a lawyer to sue c.a.s in Lindsay Ontario I have everything I need but a lawyer
The lawyers are corrupt
I believe trust in relationship is overrated. After my husband was always making calls at night , I would ask and he would just wave off those calls as unimportant.I couldn’t deal with all his lies anymore at some point. Then I decided to find a way to know what was going on and I had to talk to a colleague of mine at work which referred me to this great hacking team ultimate hack who helped clone his cellphone without having to touch his device. To my surprise my husband has been a cheating Narcissist. and I’m glad i found out all his secrets and infidelity and how he planned on using this pandemic to get back to me. I got access to his Facebook, iMessage, GPS location , WhatsApp, Call Logs and Text Messages both recent and deleted ones with a remote link that was processed . I’m here in New York and was able to access my husband’s phone even while he was away in Australia cheating on me. I was heartbroken when I found out about all the conversation my husband was having with other girls and how he was flirting on dating site. I am glad I was able to get help. you can contact them via email at ultimatehack003(at)gmail com or via WhatsApp,text or call +1(720) 295-4268 now i have enough evidence to go through divorce but I’m not sure if I should let him go or stay cause we have 4 years old girl together. Please I need advice to know if I should just let him go
Thanks to Sharon Shore the line isn't visible anymore. nationalpost.com/news/canada/no-home-or-kids-together-but-couple-still-spouses-appeal-court-rules
You should get something if ur with someone , unless someone did something wrong , then u should do right by them. I didnt day alimony but they should get something. No matter who.
When you say “you should get something” you’re of course referring to women, not men? Why shouldn’t the man receive from the woman as well?
Let's say 2 people get into a relationship, and 1 person has a few million before the 2 met, and the other person is living day to day, the person living day to day should in no way be entitled to any of the money that the other person had before the 2 even met.

Us men should keep getting sex after. Unless we did something after all we are used to that lifestyle.
