bb king is quite right. The REAL REASON we have such a large proportion of immigrants in TO is because our economy is expanding too fast for rural and small town Canada to supply manpower for our low end jobs. Thus, we "import" people. Far from draining $ from Canada, immigrants actually create...

I agree. It's a lost cause. She should try and get the original deal back. If she fights it out in court, she will pretty clearly lose.

It makes no difference if she's having an affaire. Divorce these days is "no fault". Until she moves into a separate bedroom, she's not "separated". She will also have to stop eating with the husband guy, stop watching tv with him and generally live as a stranger under the same roof. No harm...
