Hello everyone.
Please I need help from you all.
I need recommendations for a great male family lawyer who is Jewish and in the Greater Toronto preferably newmarket / York Region. I’m convinced my current lawyer (female) is not particularly representing my interest.
My Ex is a social worker who knows how to manipulate the Canadian family law system. She has always been emotional, mentally, and physically abusive towards me. However, I never reported any of these issues to the police, because I loved her, and feared that a criminal record would destroy her career.
We separated in March 2018 and have since attended a Case conference and a Settlement Conference. A Trial Management conference was scheduled for earlier this week, however due to the Pandemic, the New market Court had to Close and I have been told that we won’t be getting a trial date until June or July 2020.
In the last 2 years, I have disclosed everything I own to my Ex for equalization purposes, however she keeps hiding Assets and bank accounts. She’s deliberating delaying and prolonging the divorce and equalization process by making a lot of unreasonable and unrealistic demands.She’s pushing for Sole Custody of both kids and a double of the child support I should be paying (based on the table amount).
She also transferred a property she had during the marriage to her mother just 6 months before the separation to hide her stake in the property in preparation to kicking me out.
She is self-represented and very familiar with the Canadian family court system, while I’m being represented. I cannot represent myself even if I wanted to as I’m dyslexic and she’s very much aware of this and even go as far as throwing multiple documents to overwhelm me.Her deliberate attempts to delay and prolong this process is however incurring more legal bills on my part. Currently, I have paid my lawyer $19,000 (CAD) over the last 6 months and still running into more debt, as we still cannot finalize divorce as a result of disagreement on Child Support, custody, and equalization.
I have always paid her the table child support since the date of separation even when I lost my job by interac and kept all the payment records and never missed a payment.
My observation is that my lawyer (female) is not pushing or stopping her at all and keeps indirectly advising me to concede on a lot of things.On many different occasions, I have compromised a lot in order to reach a settlement with Ex but this case just keeps dragging forever. Not only is this draining me financially, my mental and emotional health is at stake.
A relative suggested I propose a separation agreement and a settlement meeting outside the court to her instead of proceeding with a trial management conference. However, I don’t know if this will be of any advantage to me.
I don’t want to remain just desperate from my Ex,I want to be completely divorced from her.
Can a separation agreement make this happen?
All in all, my priority is to be divorced ASAP and to finalize on Child Support, Custody, and Equalization.I would rather invest in my children’s lives that to continue paying legal fees. I need my sanity and life back.
She’s very manipulative and a control freak and has also promised to wreck me financially and take up major chunk of all my future earnings for the rest of my life and do all she can to make it impossible for me to move on or ever have a new family and happy life despite the fact that she kicked me out of the marriage and asked for divorce because I asked for Visitation Access to our children because I refused to let her keep controlling me.
Advices and recommendations are welcome please.
Thank you.
