The Importance of Understanding Common Law Separation Rights

When it comes to common law relationships, there is often confusion around the legal rights and responsibilities that couples have. Borden Family Law, a trusted name in the field of law, is here to offer expert guidance and comprehensive legal services for common law couples in Ontario. We understand the complexities of common law separation rights and are committed to helping our clients navigate this challenging process.

What are Common Law Separation Rights?

In Ontario, common law couples have certain rights and obligations that should be understood and respected. While common law relationships may not be legally recognized in the same way as marriages, couples who have lived together for a significant period may still have rights, particularly when it comes to property division, child custody, and support.

Property Division for Common Law Couples

When a common law couple separates, property division can become a complex issue. In Ontario, the rules surrounding property division for common law couples are governed by the Family Law Act. Unlike married couples, common law partners do not have an automatic equal right to property division. However, contributions made during the relationship and the specific circumstances of each case can influence the division process.

Child Custody and Support

In cases where common law couples have children, child custody and support arrangements need to be determined. The best interests of the child are always the primary consideration for determining custody and access. Our experienced lawyers at Borden Family Law can help you understand your legal rights and fight for the best possible outcome for your children.

Spousal Support in Common Law Separation

Spousal support may be applicable in cases where one partner is financially dependent on the other. Common law couples who have lived together for a significant period of time may be entitled to spousal support. Our dedicated lawyers can assess your situation and guide you through the process to ensure a fair outcome.
