Hi Everyone I have been seperated from husband for 3.5 years, we have never got a legal seperation, husband doesen't feel we need one. Two years after we seperated husband signed the house over to me all thru a lawyer and all other bills we had together have been paid. My husband has accumalated alot of debt since our parting and I was wondering if I am responsilbe for that as I filed seperated on my income taxes etc, as far as maintenance for the children we have a written agreement between the two of us and that has worked well.
All through our seperation husband does not want to work on reconcile likes his life etc. I don't have the funds to file for divorce or legal seperation and I don't qualify for subsidy's as I make a few more dollars that the qualifing level.
So if any of you know how the laws work here in Alberta I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks<p>

Does anyone have any idea's on this topic? Please help out if you do. Thanks

You should file!! I'm pretty sure you can be at least bothered by creditors as you are still married. I'tll cost you about $500. to file legalily, you don't have top complete but it will protect you against any judgments. If he signs the supplied documents you can be divorced in 4 weeks with no hassles. I did just to protect myself.

Sorry, to follow up, I'm from British Columbia. I filed as single the entire 15 yr marriage, BUT--if HE runs up debt you can still be held accountable if it goes to court!!

Bump looking for anymore suggestions, thanks for letting me know the costs. PlEASE RESPOND
