What do I have to make sure that my boyfriend and I are not considered "common law"?
We currently have separate residences, but we were talking about buying both halves of a duplex when we have kids. If each half is on a separate title, would this be considered common law?
If we have an open relationship and sleep with other people, does that exempt us from common law status? What if we live with and/or sleep with other people? What is considered "conjugal"?
If we got married, then got a divorce, would that exempt us from common law status?
Hypothetically, if I moved in with two people at the same time, and we were all having sex, would that make us common law with each other? Wouldn't that violate polygamy laws? Can you be common law with someone while you are married to someone else?
I am morally opposed to the idea of "common law" relationships; I think the government should stay out of my love/sex life. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
