Is he required to pay for half of the mortgage and property tax ?

Answer: I need to know if he is working and, if so, what he earns. I also need some further information from you. Thus, for now, I can only provide the following general comments. So, generally speaking, he is required to pay you at least one half of the carrying costs of the home, and very likely more as if he is working (and depending on the facts even if he is not working) he is required to pay you child support pursuant to the Child Support Guidelines. He may also be required to pay you spousal support. Thus, he may be obligated to pay you more on an ongoing basis, and he may owe you arrears as well. Such arrears can, generally speaking, only go back three years. Thus, it is important to deal with this now. Feel free to call me at (905) 451-3222 for a free consultation.
