While multiple factors play a role in falling divorce rates, the costs of separation make going it alone a daunting prospect for many Canadians.

A dear friend divorced his adulterous wife. Finally.
Laws here are weird, and they can be biased. Because he then met and married a very successful woman, his ex was able to get a new support agreement for her and their grown(!) kids that ensured they were kept “to a level commensurate with his current status” that had him donating the entirety of his pay toward support because his new spouse made more and his old spouse wasnt reporting income (cash only, sob story).
To be clear: grown kids, spouse met and married long after the first divorce and settlement, lawyer and judge combo awarded her a new settlement that left him with no income and entirely dependent on his new spouse.
The Chilliwack was both chilly and a whack.
What’s a Chilliwack
How grown are these grown kids? Are they in school or dependent for some other reason?
That is how I could see this happening. Courts believe that your kids are entitled to your income. The ex should not have that same right. Of course, who do the child support payments go to? That’s right…the ex.
