Lori,
Although I agree with you to certain extent, if one expects the same rights as a married couple why would one not get married?
If one were to expect the rights as a married couple should they not be married. Although I really do see your point once Revenue Canada recognizes us as in a union why not family law court.
Please on't be offended I my self lived 14 years common law prior to my so divorce/seperation.
My point is if you want to be recognized as married then get married. Once you have children of the "union" you are almost recognized as married except perhaps RRSP'S and pensions, but you can usually battle for this, ever heard of unjust enrichment........very widely used in common law.
