Often I hear individuals who are divorcing state: “I can hardly wait until this is over”.  They have the hope that a legal decree will give them peace freedom and a new sense of identity.  What they don’t understand, however, is that divorce is much more than a legal process.  In fact, there are four specific areas of life that are affected by divorce as follows:

Financial concerns – There are a number of things that need to be decided before a divorce can be finalized.  All assets, liabilities, income and expenses need to be determined so that matrimonial property can be divided while Child Support and spousal support are calculated.  Preparing budgets for each of the partners is also important when is comes to financial decision-making.

People who live together but are not married are generally referred to as living Common Law and from information that is available the definition of common law seems to be one that has many meanings, for example some laws say that common law partners must live together for a specified period of time before each partner acquires certain rights or responsibilities.

Other laws require that the two must intend to live together in a conjugal relationship and on a permanent basis but do not set out a specific length of time In some Canadian Provinces a common law partner includes couples who have registered their relationship with the Vital Statistics Agency

There are many good books that give excellent advice on these points and a book called “Family Law in Manitoba is one that covers many family issues some of which I have referred to here and is worth obtaining Once again it is important to note that when one is not sure as to what he or she should do, they should contact a Family Lawyer for guidance
