This week we discuss a case on civil contempt: 2023 ABKB 58 https://canlii.ca/t/jv6jd In the case, the ex husband is found in civil contempt for failing to comply with a court order and arbitration award. The problem? He refused to remove a Certificate of Pending Litigation (lien) on title to one of the parties' real properties. The court ordered that the ex husband be imprisioned until he purged his contempt (dischared the lien from title). It's an extreme remedy for an extreme set of circumstances.

This week we're addressing two broad questions, first, when one parent wants shared parenting, but the other parent is the primary parent, how to prepare for mediation through Court. Plus, a listener raises a topic that we believe will be one of the biggest issues in divorce matters over the next 20 years: what to do when your ex's parents loaned you money to buy a house, then you separate, and the former in-laws want the money back. Was it a gift or a loan? With housing prices sky-rocketing in Canada, we believe the issue of inter-generational transfers of large sums of money will become more common as an issue in divorce. We share our thoughts on this critical developing issue.

This week we tackled three questions: First, when child welfare / protective services are involved with your family matter, can you access information that has not been formally provided to you? Second, a former partner is receiving both income and dividends from a closely held company. How can we assess what the payor's actual income is, for the purposes of child support? Finally, a listener is stuck, when a former partner wants half the sale proceeds from the family home, but he refuses to share the proceeds from the sale of his condo.

This week we received a SpeakPipe voicemail about a listener who has a valid separation agreement for her ex to buy her out of the family home with proceeds of sale from an out of province condo, but the agreement has not been honoured. What's next? Also, a parent who has not seen their ex for 7 years, with kids over 18, has not received child support. Is there still a claim to child support?

What's the best part of a lawyer's podcast? It's when they bring in the psychologist! This week we are excited to collaborate with Jenny Ma of Wake Up with Jenny & Friends. Jenny helps us understand the ways in which self care and boundaries can allow for a smoother transition into re-partnering or as she calls it "shining your shoes", Darren and Rob ask poignant questions like "what is journalling?", and a few laughs are shared about Jenny's ability to turn a phrase.

What are laws? Where did they come from? How do our provincial and federal governments work together with our courts to make laws respecting things like divorce and family law matters? It all starts with our constitution (1867 British North America Act and 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms). We also sprinkle in a little bit of our common law (judge made laws) and then we have the right mix to create the perfect recipe for making effective laws governing divorce and family matters.

On this spooky version of Divorced and Done, Rob and Darren discuss how to scare a family lawyer: use a separation agreement from Staples or Office Depot. Kidding, kind of -- Staples if you see this, we'd love that free box of pens. In reality, Darren and Rob break down the nuts and bolts of separation agreements. What should you know before you sign? Why should you ask a lawyer to help? And, how do you define possessions as things other than "stuff"? Plus: if you create a separation agreement using a kit from Office Depot, can it be used in a court of law in Canada? For more information on Miglin v.
