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,

actualy that is for the purpose of suport I believe and/or when it is infered that you are common law, and you don't have to claim common law after two years.. you can apply for comon law status at 1 year I believe in BC and after 6 months if you are in the military as the military uses the federal definitions.

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

as for the underwear...that remains to be seen......


Thanks guys, its been great to read your replies.

Buy yourself new undies or wash the ones you've got At least underwear is replaceable, since animals are not I'm glad to hear that you're getting your dog back 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.

I gotta agree with Bandit, $1800.00 is a great price to pay for freedom! oh sweet freedom....... Dont worry if the dog is still young and chewing stuff and generally making a mess of things like bulldogs do, she'll be begging you to take it back when things cool off. Meanwhile, your in Calgary and just got out of a two year relationship. If you really want help Id advise you to call a bud and get to one of the establishments downtown... Ranchmens and Coyotes always did the trick for me! Sphelps is right though, guys can be weird but women are CRAZY until like 27 or 28 years old. Come on ladies, you know im right!
