More details to this question:
Can you please tell me if me and my common law spouse of 22 years had a separation agreement draw up and we both signed and one of the conditions were that we would not take on each other’s debt but when his lawyer lied and said a search of our property was clean so I paid him out 10000$ for our family home. When my lawyer did the search it had a lean on it of 12000$ from a line of credit he had got in just his name, which I had to add to my mortgage to get a clear title and his lawyer released the money to him the same day we signed the agreement is there anything I can do to recover that money?
