Marriage Versus
Common-law Relationships
Marriage
is
a
legal
contract
entered
into
by
two
people.
To
become
a
married
couple,
you
must
have
a
legal
marriage
legal
annulment.
Common-law
relationships
begin
when
two
people
decide
to
move
in
together
as
sexual
partners.
There
is
no
legal
ceremony.
Many
people
believe
a
common-law
relationship
becomes
a
legal
marriage
after
some
time.
This
is
not
true.
The
only
way
to
become
a
married
couple
is
to
legally
marry.
To
end
a
common-law
relationship,
you
simply
need
to
move
out.
Married
and
common-law
partners
have
a
legal
responsibility
to
support
each
other
and
any
children
they
have
while
they
are
living
together.
This
obligation
does
not
end
with
separation.
Depending
on
your
circumstances,
child
support
or
spousal
support
may
be
owed
to
you,
regardless
of
whether
you
were
legally
married
or
common-law.

division
of
property
after
separation.
Married
women
are
entitled
to
an
equalization
of
the
family
property
that
was
accumulated
during
the
marriage,
regardless
of
which
spouse
legally
owns
the
asset.
Women
living
common-
law
do
not
have
this
right.
In
common-law
relationships,
no
equalization
takes
place.
For
common-law
couples,
the
person
who
legally
owns
the
asset,
usually
keeps
it.
For
example,
in
a
common-law
relationship,
the
person
whose
name
is
on
the
car
registration
owns
the
car,
whereas
in
a
marriage,
the

when
you
move.
If
you
take
them,
you
must
begin
thinking
about
negotiating
a
long-term
parenting
plan
with
your
spouse.
Parents
with
joint
custody
have
equal
authority
to
make
decisions
about
the
children
and
your
children
have
the
right
to
spend
time
with
both
of
you.
If
you
decide
it
would
be
best
for
your
children
to
stay
behind
with
the
other
parent,
you
dont
have
to
take
them
with
you.
Leaving
the
children
behind
doesnt
mean
that
they
cant
live
with
you
in
the
future,
but
it
might
suggest
to
the
Court
that
you
think
this
parenting
arrangement
is
in
their
best
interests.
It
could
take
a
long
time
for
the
Court
to
help
you
get
the
children
back
in
your
care
and
it
may
be
harder
to
get
an
order
for
child
custody
later,
if
you
decide
to
pursue
it.
When
it
comes
time
to
negotiate
the
parenting
plan,
you
and
your
spouse
can
decide
on
your
own
where
the
children
will
live.
Together,
you
can
create
a
custody
arrangement
that
is
an
agreement,
a
lawyer,
collaborative
practitioner,
or
mediator
may
be
able
to
help.

about

If,
despite
out-of-court
options,
you
cannot
come
to
an
agreement
about
the
living
arrangements
of
the
children,
you
will
have
to
go
to
court.
This
may
take
some
time
and
will
cost
money.
All
court
decisions
on
child
custody
are
decided
based
on
the
same
legal
test
the
best
interests
of
the

The
courts
favour
custody
arrangements
that
allow
the
children
to
have
a
strong
relationship
with
both
parents.
If
you
have
reason
to
believe
the

Child Support
Both
parents
must
contribute
to
the
costs
of
raising
their
children.
If
the
children
are
with
you
more
than 60%
of
the
time,
the
other
parent
has
an
obligation
to
provide
child
support.
In
this
case,
the
basic
amount
of
child
support
(which
includes
support
for
food,
housing,
clothing
and
other
basic
needs)
depends
on
the
income
of
the
paying
parent,
not
both
parents.
If
there
are
special
expenses
(such
as
childcare,
medical
expenses
and
schooling
expenses)

parents
incomes
are
considered.
If
each
parent
has
the
children
between
40% and
60%
of
the
time,
child
support
may
still
be
paid.
The
amount
is

Child
support
is
determined
by
the
Federal
Child
Support
Guidelines.
The
amount
of
child
support
you
pay
or
receive
depends
on
the
number
of
children
you
have,
your
parenting
arrangements,
the
income
of
the
paying
parent,
where
you
live,
and
any
special
circumstances.
Both

are
also
responsible
for
sharing
extra
costs
such
as

activities,

expenses
and

in

you
be

Check Your Insurance Coverage
If

call
your
insurance
company
to
make
sure
you
are
insured.
This
helps

you
in

your
spouse

changed

some
things
you
should
know
about

so
make
sure
you
call

to
check
your
coverage.
The Move
You
may
wish
to
leave
on
a
day
that
your
spouse
is
not
home.
This
can
be
a
good
idea
if
you
think
he
or
she
will
become
angry.
Take
everything
you
need.
Your
spouse
could
change
the
locks
and
refuse
to
allow
you
back
into
the
house
to
collect
items
you
may
have
forgotten.
Remember
that
things
you
take
will
still
be
considered
during

of
property
if
you
are
married
and
that
things
you
take
must

you
if
you
are

The
court
may
order
you
to
return
some
things
at
a
later
date.
