common life what? Is this some canada thing? im confused

 

common law = if you live with someone for something like 5-7 years they consider you married and when she leaves she can take half of your stuff just like a divorce...

wouldn't be surprised if they could get spousal support too...(aka vaginamony)

 

ahhh i see. I have heard of this before just not by that term.

 

Yup it's pretty much like marriage these days. That's what I was referring to.

 

It's marriage without the ceremony. Down here, if you claim her as your wife, you're married. Register in a hotel or motel as Mr. & Mrs., and that's it, you're married.

 

I think each state may have their own laws on common law marriage, I think in Ga it's 10 years or something like that...

 

I know in Ontario if you live with someone for over a year and split they can still take half your stuff. I don't know if that's common law though. I believe I've been 3 years for Ontario.

 

Yea there isn't any common law in VA. However they do recognize common law from other states

 

That would be fun, just avoid the hunters!

Common Law in KY is 7 years.

 

common law in NH is 6, or 7 years. this is where i fall under now.
