• "Gifted down payments between family members have gone up 7% since 2000. In fact, 2016 was the most gifted down payments I’ve ever seen and the largest.” According to Toronto Mortgage Broker Darin Bauer. In 2017, high real estate costs and new mortgage restrictions are making it almost impossible to buy a home. Federal rules force anyone applying for a mortgage to undergo a stress test.The new stress test — designed to predict whether homeowners could shoulder their debt if interest rates or their personal financial situation were to change could be completely out of the market should interest rates rise. Toronto family lawyer Andrew Feldstein says any gift that goes into a matrimonial home is subject to being divvied up, even if there’s a letter stipulating who the gift is for. “Obviously, nobody buys property with their spouse and anticipates a split, but if that happens, your relative may not want your ex-spouse to walk away with half of that money,” Kouroshnia explains on her blog.” "Absent a prenup, you’re out of luck,” Feldstein warned. He adds you can get a “single issue” prenup (which may cost you a couple of thousand dollars) even after you’ve already tied the knot.(Global TV News, Toronto)

• "Toronto Speaks: Legal Advice"
  • Part 1 – Host Natalka Falcomer asks Andrew Feldstein about the high profile divorce of French fry heiress Eleanor McCain and Arts administrator Jeff Melanson. Why is she asking for an annulment? Because when a marriage ends, the person who makes less money gets an equalization payment from the person with more money. Eleanor McCain is using the legal strategy of an annulment because an equalization payment would be unconscionable after such a short marriage.
  • Part 2 – A marriage contract [a “prenup” in the US] is a good way to protect yourself and your assets prior to marriage. In order to negotiate a solid marriage contract that will hold up in court, you need full and frank financial disclosure and each side must have a separate lawyer. The contract can deal with the division of property and spousal support. The contract cannot deal with child custody, child access, child support, or exclusive possession of the matrimonial home.
  • Part 3 – A viewer asks about how child expenses are divided between the spouses. Child expenses are divided proportionately, so if you make $100,000 and your spouse makes $50,000, you would pay two-thirds of child support. A viewer asks about her ex, who is paying child support but wants nothing to do with their son.
  • Part 4 – A caller asks about her late father, whose common-law partner is now suing the estate. Her father didn’t change his Will after he got divorced, so his ex-wife and not his common-law partner of 17 years was the beneficiary of the estate.
