Do you have a claim?
One bad night is an incident. A pattern is a case.
If a partner or ex did any of these to you, it is worth twenty minutes to find out what your claim is worth.
Controlled your money, your accounts, or your ability to work
Took on debt in your name, or left you with it
Cut you off from family and friends
Monitored your phone, location, messages or spending
Threatened you, your children, your pets or your reputation
Degraded you — publicly, in front of your kids, or relentlessly in private
Pressured or coerced you sexually
Was physically violent, or made you live around the possibility of it
You do not need a police report, a criminal charge, or anything in writing. Your account matters, and civil court decides on a lower standard than a criminal one.
“It was too long ago.”
Probably not. New Brunswick is removing the limitation period entirely — including for claims that had already run out. Thirty years is not automatically too late.
“We weren't married.”
Being intimate is enough. Your civil claim does not depend on you being married, common law, or in a long-term relationship.
“He has nothing to take.”
Worth checking. Assets, pensions, property, insurance and estates are not always where people assume. We look before you write it off.
