Thanks. I wish I knew how to post photos. If anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it. I just store my photos om a program that came with my printer. Do I have to upload them to a different program to then upload them here? I can post them on the gallery section with no problems, but not this discussion site.

Unfortunately, I don't know which government department to contact. I am in Toronto and have occasionally seen public service ads on TV - as well as references to it on another Canadian forum. I think if you look at the Ontario Government Website - and also the Legal Aid website for the area you live in you should be able to find out who to contact. If all else fails, you may have to find a small law farm and have an initial consultation. Based on your husband's behaviour I think that this would be your best option. Or, perhaps just call the Ontario government general office and ask who you should speak with. You might ask at your bank if they know who you should contact. While they cannot legally give you any information on the bank account since it is in your husband's name only, you will hopefully be able to speak with someone who will have sympathy for your situation - and they have seen it all before. I would start with the manager. Or maybe even call the head office of your husband's bank and ask someone there - that way if your husband has a special relationship with his bank he will not be alerted that you are taking action. Another possibility is to contact a a centre for abused women - they know all about these things. I come from a similar background (childhood, not current marital situation) so this would be worth a try. I really think you need to do this - otherwise you will be in serious trouble - and not only if your husband dies. I am assuming that your home, if you own it, is in both of your names - and that he can't sell it out from under you without your signature - but it has been done before - forgery. I wish you the best of luck. One thing for certain is that if the worst happens, you will be blamed for putting up with his nonsense.

We could have a similar problem as on of our colleges is working with a college in Sask and the students could end up with 2 degrees. I am assuming the could work in ND and Canada This college has alot of students from Canada. Now sure how it works--tuition money.

Thanks cjd! I might just change up some before I go. I was saving up the US dollars to use but I'll just get Canadian now. That's great that two of your children graduated from there! There are several people that I know who did also and they have top positions now. My son was talking about doing the Engineering program but he'll have to finish up either at the college next to smu (is it Dalhousie?) or go to England. I may bug you closer to the time to see what type of weather you'll have at the time. I'll be coming from shorts and t-shirt weather and sometimes it's hard to think winter attire. Thanks again.
