Ontario court orders man to pay $1,500 per month to support ex-wife and her two children. The children were conceived and born AFTER the marriage ended and were fathered by another man.

From the comments:

My husband's former wife of 8 years has received $5000/mth in spousal support for the past 6 years. This in on top of $9000 /mth for child support for two children (tax free dollars - more than most Canadians could dream of 'having' to life on). They have an agreement, negotiated by top lawyers for both parties, which stated that the spousal support should end after 4 years. Although she has a university business degree and over 12 years of work experience, she now claims she cannot find a job which pays more than $8000 per year. Although my husband has paid her an additional fund for $8000 for retraining, she has elected to take only one 'hobby' course a week for the past 5 years. The children have been in full time school for 7 years. The lastest unbelievable request from her lawyer is to continue to pay spousal support for at least another 3 years and then have a review. Her lawyer even suggested that my income should be included in calculating what SPOUSAL support should be paid to the former wife!! The child support alone exceeds what the family income was during their marriage. However, there is a good chance she would be successful in court because she is now an apparently 'helpless' women who should be permitted to be a parasite on a man for the rest of her life. Women should be ashamed to accept spousal support, except in extreme circumstances. I thought we were supposed to be equal and capable and responsible for ourselves.

So... never-married men are the new "virgins"?

If I was in his position, and I am obviously not, I would try to fight it legally, and if I failed, liquidize all my assets and donate the money anonymously to various charities and quit my job, at least until some kind of justice was served.

Refcio's obligation to his former wife, after just two years of marriage, should look more like $180 to $300 a month

Why should be be obliged to pay anything to her?

FTA:

two courts now have essentially held Refcio responsible for someone else's children.

Slavery. Cancel all life insurance, spend/sell all assets. Throw massive good-bye party. Have EAT ME tattooed on chest. Overdose on heroin after sending letters telling the story to all national newspapers with all names involved in bold print.

Extreme? Sure.

But she goes down in history as a bloodsucker who drove a guy to kill himself.

IMO, it beats shooting the bitch, which is what she really deserves. The corrosive cunt.

Lesson: Don't marry a whore that will do this to you if you get divorced.

People who want a divorce but stick it out, five years later report being very happy with the marriage. I don't have the link that reports this, but thought it'd be handy to throw in on the discussion. Stay married, even if you want out - it will get better, but may take some work.

SHES MINE FOREVER: First marriage lasted 22 years. Paid child support until 2 sons left. I was then ordered to pay spousal support. In Ontario if the marriage is longer then 20 years you pay spousal support, in my case forever. My ex never worked, had a 20 year relationship with a man, maintained separate address and qualified for legal aid. I remarried and paid this women support for 23 years. We have taken each other to court several times for variances to the court order. She has paid zero legal fess and I am approaching $100,000. At the age of 63 I has disabled and had to give up my job due to Parkinson's Disease. Seven months before I reached 65. I pressed my lawyer to work on putting a stop to my spousal support payments as I will loose all my benefits and my income will reduce by 50 % (CPP & OAS, plus a small pension from work) I stopped paying support for two years. She then went back to her lawyer and she sent the last court order to Family Responsibilty Office for enforcement. Letter arrived from FRO saying I owed over $18,000. in arrears and must start Paying the spouse $1,130 a month plus the arrears. They notified the department of Justice of the FRO enforcement, They will take 50% of my Gov't Pensions, Suspend my drivers license and passport, seize my bank account and Income tax refund. They will seize all assets.They will notify the Credit Bureau of the arrears. IF ALL FAILS THEY WILL TAKE ME TO COURT. My first lawyer sent me a bill for reading my emails and correspondence and did absolutely nothing. She advised me she was taking a leave from her law practice and referred me to another lawyer. The new lawyer told me she will get the existing courts order taken care of in a short time and the bill should be $1,000. Well its is been two years, two lawyers have failed to help me and FRO are all over me. My Pension income is $26,000. FRO demands $1,138. plus $18,000. in arrears.
