Common law

(1/2) > >>

DC:
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?

sleek:
South Carolina used too, dont know if they still do.

Mesophilic:
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.

willie:
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.

Hawkdancer:
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!
