The term “common law marriage” is frequently used within society to refer to couples who live together but are not married. There is, however, no such thing. It is therefore not surprising that when unmarried couples separate, the law can appear confusing and, at times, complicated.
Unlike married couples, unmarried couples are not under any financial obligation to support one another. This can cause difficulties upon a separation, particularly if there is property and/or children involved. It is therefore extremely important to ensure proper arrangements/agreements are put in place at the start of a relationship.
