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.

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?

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
