well if you are being asked to sign one then your soon to be is making you sign your rights away to what will really be yours when you are married. If you get a divorce all you have left is you.

Darn. I don't know about Canadian Law. I hope you have also posted this question in the Canadian version of Yahoo! Answers.\n\nGood luck in this, your heart must be breaking. It may not seem like much to you, but I will pray for you and your child.

You can copywrite it. Or you can go to a laywers office and ask them for any advice on what you can do. Or you can do the agreement you talked about that reads that they WONT use it an any manner other then business between you and them. I would definately talk to a laywer and see what your opinions are..

Pre-nups are really just for marriage (hence the name).  If you would like to solidify your financial arrangments, have an attorney draw up a Property Status Agreement which clearly defines whose property is whose and what property is community.  It acts that same as a pre-nup, except that you aren't getting married.  \nYou will probably be advised to have seperate counsel from your boyfriend since you or him could be relinquishing property rights now or in the future.  Be sure to have an estate planning attorney draw up the PSA because if you're worried about being out on the street, you want to make sure the document will hold up in court.\nAlso, if Georgia is not a community property state, then you don't have to worry about any of this.\nGood luck!

The courts will follow the law.  But there are also always exceptions.  There are laws regarding the order of the priority of the obligation to support a child.\n\nDo a google for your state and "child support calculator"  You will get a page that will help you see what the law says.\n\nThere are several things to consider.  \n\nFirst, HAVE A PATERNITY TEST DONE.  It costs about $100 and can save you tons of money if the child isn't yours.\n\nSecond, oddly enough, in the eyes of the court, there is only a small amount of money they have to leave you to support yourself and your family.  You will be able to look at the laws if you do the google I told you about.  Or google for your state and "child support guidelines."  But the standard is that you can expect to pay one weeks take home pay per month in child support.  And that is normal, not excessive in the eyes of the court.\n\nBut you really need a good lawyer.  Not knowing about the child does not remove your obligation, but your situation provides you with some compelling arguments for decreased child support to be ordered.  Plus there is the question, why did the mother wait until now to request child support?\n\nWhen you prepare for court, make sure you have details of your family budget, all your bills, the expenses for your children, etc.  Come up with any paperwork you can.\n\nBut I will warn you, if you have a nice house, nice cars, etc., the court is not going to have much sympathy.  It sounds dumb, because logical people can see that you worked hard to be able to provide your family with nice things and that you didn't budget for the expense of the other child, but in the eyes of the court, that child has a right to a percentage of your money, like it or not.\n\nGood luck.  And as expensive as it may be, get a good lawyer. It may save you tons of money in the long run.

It really depends on what kind of nuptial ceremony you plan on having?  Something informal with low overhead?  Then sure, get married first as that won't crunch the pocket book.  Now if you want a "Cinderella" wedding, then WAIT!!!!!!!!!! I would definitely purchase a house first!! Housing prices generally continue to go up, hence, equity in your pocket!! If you are worried about what family will say, who cares?? It's your life and you are only trying to better it!\n\nGood luck :)\n\nP.S......... purchasing a house sans marriage has absolutely NOTHING to do with who gets what should you seperate prior to getting married.  How you take title DOES!!  Should you purchase the home prior to marriage, you would each take title in your individual name, then after each of your names, you would state "single man" and "single woman" (assuming neither of you has been married before.  If either of you has been married before, then after that person's name it would say, "unmarried man/woman".  You would then have to decide that should one of you die before the other whether or not you want to leave your share of the house to the other person OR to someone else.  I'll give you an example of each:\n\nThis would be if both have never been married before AND want to leave the house to the surviving partner:\n\nJonh Doe- single man and Suzie Smith-single woman as joint tenants.\n\nNow if each of you would prefer to leave your half of the house to someone else, this is how you would take title (again, assuming neither of you has been married):\n\nJohn Doe-single man  (list his percentage of ownership) and Suzie Smith-single woman (list her percentage of ownership) with right of survivorship.\n\nIn this case, you would state in a will or trust or even on a notorized piece of paper, "who" your percentage of the house goes to. Also, in either example, if one of you has been married you would just change out "single" to read "unmarried".\n\nmb

Depends on lots of things.  Pre=nups, etc.  Do you have an attorney?  If not, you'll need one eventually.

completecase.com and yes we agreed on everything and for 300.00 they go through a series of questions and give you ALL the paper work you need to file. The state you file in will have different laws about physically appearing in court. Our state required it. We were married 22 yrs so we really didn't want to hurt each other just go our separate ways and it's worked out fine. My ex did have an attorney appear for her and he checked out the paper work and saw nothing wrong and was quite surprised the Internet could do such a comprehensive job

I don't know, but crooks will try anything, won't they? Talk to a lawyer who knows about pre-nups and estates. Contact legal aid if you have no $$ for a lawyer. Sounds shifty to me. Good Luck to you.

Like most things in Canada, the law here isn't "Canadian," it depends on your province. But generally speaking, how any given Commissioner of Oaths charges fees for their services is for them to decide – usually getting something commissioned doesn't cost that much, though. You can make a quick call to a law office to check in advance.\n\nThe Commissioner is usually commissioning a document to say that something was sworn/affirmed before him or her. In this case, yes, the swearer or affirmer would definitely have to be present. (Otherwise what is the commissioner actually doing other than stamping something?) Other times a document might get notarized as a legitimate copy of another document – in which case the original and copy would both have to be presented.\n\nI'm guessing that the letters you have are affidavits? The swearer will have to be present (to attest to the truth of the contents of the document) at the time of commissioning.

It really depends on the lawyer that you get to accept and what you would like to have involved in the prenup. Shop around and always make sure you see what degrees they may have. When getting a pre nup done the last thing you need is someone who has no idea what they are doing. If things don't go right it would really be upsetting to find out that the lawyer who did your prenup did it incorrectly and it didn't hold up in court. Good luck to you!

You will also have to be certain that your spouse is entitled to petition for you.

It sounds as though its a basic affidavit. Most civil law countries such as France require you to sign an affidavit stating that you are single before you can get married. If that is indeed what they require, you will need to fill out the affidavit and sign it in front of a notary public (in France, most lawyers are also notaries).

Call a lawyer. They can write up a power of attorney agreement for fairly cheap. Then, all the parties sign and you get it notarized. You can specify how long or how short you want the custody for in the agreement.\n\nGood luck!

call labour relations (That's what it is called in Canada) and explain your situation, they will take care of it for free and make sure that they don't screw someone else around next time.  Also make sure that you have all of the paperwork to back up your side of the story, dates, times worked and anuthing else that might come up.  That way you will have the best case possible.  If you win he could also be fined, so even calling him and making that threat could be efective enough.  If he has done this before and been investigated, it could cause him alot of trouble that he won't want.
