Do you have common law in the States? Like if a man and woman are living without benefit of matrimony for a few years and they break up does she get half of every/most things?
-
South Carolina used too, dont know if they still do.

Never experienced it myself but I've always understood the precedent to be 7 years or more and for all legal purposes your considered msrried.
Would consult a lawyer just to be sure...before things got ugly and all.
-
some states do and some don't, but being in a state that don't won't help much if she has a good lawyer.
-
Every state down here has it's own definition and consequences. I would imagine each Provence has it's own rules, too. Contact a lawyer, attorney, barrister(law school type person)! It's always a tough go when a relationship turns sour!

A lot of states no longer have it, use to be all over. Think very few still have common law nowadays. Though even without common law there is likely still something that could happen if it goes to the courts regardless of a common law existing or not
