RevCanada made me commonlaw after 2 months

In a leased space agreement they wouldn't be conjugal but one would asume they are if they've reconciled?

I think I'm just confused by the original post, not quite sure what the OP was outlining!

The CRA's administrative position is that the parties must be living separate and apart for them not to be considered common law or married. I have dealt with many cases where the parties continue to live in the same home (usually for economic reasons) but are not sleeping together.

The CRA's position I think is based on the fact that economically the couple are still together, even if not conjugally.

I like this "dated" declaration on the respective Schedules:

I certify that the information given on this return and in any documents attached is correct, complete, and fully discloses all my income.

If new information surfaces concerning "undeclared income" ie: room and board - An amendment for those tax years be in order.

Thanks for all the effort. To answer a few questions we did have kids while married for 27 years. Now we are trying to work it out, she's livivng with me. conjugal. I allowed her to use my adrress as she was not stable, did not realize about rev can rules, but that's done now. Proved about being apart since she left in 2005. were divorced in 2007, officially, and have lived apart all this time until May, 2010. My post was to know if they can arbitrarily change my status like they seem to have done, and said they did. Thanks again all.
