同居关系

安大略省家庭法对同居关系的定义

In Ontario, a common law relationship is defined under the 家庭法 Act. Many people wonder about the differences between marriage vs common law, especially when it comes to property rights, child custody, and financial support.

 

What is a Common Law Relationship?

You may be considered in a common law relationship if:

  • You and your partner have lived together continuously for at least three years, but are not married.
  • You are in a committed relationship and share a child together.

Unlike marriage, common law and marriage rights are not the same. For example, common-law couples do not have automatic rights to share in property or the “matrimonial home” unless there is a legal agreement in place.

FAQs About Common Law Relationships

1. Is common law the same as marriage in Ontario?

No. Marriage vs common law comes with very different legal rights. Married couples automatically share rights to property and the matrimonial home, while common-law couples do not.

2. What’s the difference between common law and marriage for property division?

In Ontario, married spouses divide property equally after separation. Common-law partners, however, do not automatically share in property ownership. This is one of the key differences between common law and marriage.

3. Do I need a lawyer if I’m separating from a common law partner?

Yes. A common law lawyer can explain your rights to support, custody, and property, and represent your interests during negotiations or court proceedings.

4. How long do you have to live together to qualify as common law in Ontario?

Typically, you must live together for at least three years, or be in a permanent relationship with a child together.

5. Can a lawyer help with custody and support issues in common law cases?

Yes. Our common law lawyers at Juzkiw Law Firm regularly assist clients with child custody, support, and parenting arrangements following separation.
