Ms. Anny comes to you for advice in March 1st, 2021. Last year, 2020 was a year of considerable change and turmoil for her. Her job in Barrie , with ABC Ltd., evaporated on March 31, 2020, as a result of a reorganization of the company's business after a merger with a competitor. She found another job in Dundas (an improvement), but it required her to move there. Her divorce from her former husband became final during 2018. Ms. Haddie, who was already a single parent of a nine-year-old daughter, decided to adopt a five-year-old child locally on May 1st of 2020. By June 2020, after completing her move to her new job, the adoption was finalized. The court costs, legal cost, and administrative costs were $16,000.
