Yay! I'm so happy to read this. First things first, tomorrow you get the registration changed over at the city of Calgary. Do the same thing with your vet, and if you have pet insurance.

Photos of your puppy when you get it home?

sooo what about THE FISH TANK??????? :mrgreen:

seriously though, even if you want to give her some more time that is not always the best thing to do. I would at least talk to the police and explain the situation to them.. I had to have a police escort to recover some of my stuff when a simular situation happened.. I waited on the sidewalk, the police made sure there was going to be no trouble and took her aside and the other officer followed me to get my stuff.

ask the police about the dog.. ask them what they would concider proof that it is your dog and then go get the proof.. and you won't have a problem getting your stuff back.. this isn't a lawyer thing just a civel dispute ... cop stuff.

anyways I didn't read the last couple posts so sounds like it is working for ya.

Fish tank is waiting to be set up. I recently purchased a 90g set-up from "blom" on here. The hunt for a new place begins tomorrow, then the process of starting the new tank and life ensues

Spare me ...

Where does this "common law is 6 months" come from? According to this site, division of property in Alberta does not qualify until 3 yrs.

Buy yourself new undies or wash the ones you've got :wink: At least underwear is replaceable, since animals are not I'm glad to hear that you're getting your dog back :biggrin: Let us know how it goes (or went) when you go to pick up the dog. I think with animals they should go to whoever is going to take good care of them. If you're the one who has been looking after/taking care of the dog then of course the dog belongs with you.

Love the pic.'s he's a cute puppy.

the only thing for the 6 months is the minimum you can live togeather for befor delairing common law status.. only way faster is to have a kid. but this doesn't mean you are common law only that you are eligible to claim it.. and 6 months is federal.. in BC it is 1 year.

still up for coffee tomorrow night?

:surprise: I've had many many people tell me 6 months so I always thought it was 6 months, for some reason I think my lawyer even told me it was 6 months but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Anyway when I googled common-law in alberta everything came up saying 3 years :noidea:

:idea: Oh, that makes sense.

BC is 2 years, as per the definition of spouse from the Family Relations Act..
Coffee, maybe after flyball practice....call me

"
"spouse" means a person who
(a) is married to another person,
(b) except under Parts 5 and 6, lived with another person in a marriage-like relationship for a period of at least 2 years if the application under this Act is made within one year after they ceased to live together and, for the purposes of this Act, the marriage-like relationship may be between persons of the same gender,
