Hello.
My fiance and I have been continuously harassed by his ex
girlfriend. My fiance left her residence about 1 year ago
and has been residing with me. We live in the Lower
Mainland, BC. He was in a common law relationship with her
for approximately 2 years and ended it about 4 years ago
lthough they continued to live together. They did not have
a marriage like relationship at all. They did not even
sleep in the same room. She seems to insist they are
married and they are his children. He wasn't even living
in the same province when they were born. On Christmas Eve
she served him with papers for spousal and child support.
(Merry Christmas) This woman has two teenagers that are
from a previous marriage (She has never gone after the
biological father for support). My fiance only supported
the children for the two years they were together.She
refused to work and would stay at home taking pills all
day. She has a very bad addiction to painkillers. He never
tried to be a stepparent in any other way.
His ex has been sending emails and texts stating she will
burn our house down, put a bullet in our heads, etc. She
even tried to ram us with her car one day while yelling to
my fiancee "I hope when you f#@! her she squeals. All
while her 10 year old daughter was in the car. She has
followed us numerous times. We are scared for our lives.
Police reports were filed but Crown has stated there is
nothing they can do as there is no way to prove this was
from her. Her reponse when we stated this in our
application for a restraining order was that she was
trying to turn around and that I was screaming profanities
at her daughter! I may be a b!@#$ somedays but that is way
beyond my personality!
The court date is coming up. During the course of
gathering our financial info we discovered that she has
been forging cheques in his name, got ahold of his PIN
number for his bank account and set up online banking
(transferring thousands of dollars of his into various
other accounts) and falsely claimed his GST and tax
refunds for the last 4 years or so. She had offered to
file (netfile-he never had to sign anything)his taxes the
last few years (he doesn't know how) and she told him he
wasn't eligible for anything, all the while having it go
to her bank account. We are in the process of dealing with
Revenue Canada.
We saw a lawyer briefly and he advised us that she had one
year from the date the relationship ended to file. As well
as one year from the last time he contributed financially
to the children. We needed proof. Even though we can't
prove they seperated in 03 I was able to show him the tax
return she had filed for him for 2006. She had put
Seperated as the marital status. She also had that on
hers. On the application she filed for support on Dec.
20th, 2007, she also stated they were not together as of
April 2006.
We recently discovered that just before my fiancee changed
his info with Revenue Canada she applied to have his
marital status changed to Living Common Law on his 06 tax
return. Again, we are in the process of changing it.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this whole thing? I have
been told by so many people that the male ALWAYS loses in
child/spousal support cases.
