| Opposite-Sex and Same-Sex Common-law Relationships |
A Common Law relationship is
defined as two people living together
in a “conjugal” (marriage-like)
relationship but are not legally
married – this applies equally to
opposite sex couples as it does to
same sex couples.
Common-law couples do not have
the same rights as married couples.
A lawyer can advise on the rights of
the parties.
Child support obligations remain
intact if a Common-law relationship
dissolves.
