Savings Bonds Ontario

Question: What can my Mom do about this con man she married?
He has done nothing but take from her and abuse her from the start. She is now divorcing him and he has ben removed from the home as he was charged with assault. The trial will not be happening for while, but the sad thing is he was so deceptive and my Mom was naive.
In a nutshell he is taking half of all of her savings rrsps, bonds etc. and she is responsible for half of his debt during the marriage and even money he accumulated in debt before they were married.
It makes me sick. He has already completely raped her emotionally, and now he’s going to rape her financially. We live in Ontario Canada and typically everything is just split 50/50 when a couple divorces. Funny thing is she had no debt and only assets, now he’s getting all his debt paid off and walking away with money she had worked and saved so hard for so many years….I swear I hate this man.
Answer: Happy, You are being unreasonably harsh.You’re also incorrect when you infer she knew what she was getting into. Well if you have any inkling of con men you know the man she ended up was not the same man she married.Con men are excellent actors. I’m a great believer in taking responsibility for your mistakes, but in this case don’t know what she cold have done other than hired a detective to do a background check. Swindling women like this woman is his damn job and he’s very good at it.
I know nothing about Canadian law but I bet this man has a criminal record. I doubt your mother is the first one he’s defrauded. Hopefully there is a warrant already, maye for bigamy, out for him or at least enough evidence to make your mother’s situation just one of many he has wriggled out of. I hope there is help for her somewhere. Yes, Happy I feel certain she learned her lesson but I think the punishment far outweighed the mistake.
