Hi, I have a couple of questions.
Scenario:
-Common Law spouses since spring 2004, listed together as common law spouse in employment benefits and having sexual relations.
-Moving into a house together with only me on the title but living together as a couple prior to this for a 4 to 5 months.
-No children from the relationship but each having 1 previous child with others
1 child lives with the couple the other does not
- House value increased approximately $90000 in the 3 + years. Only one person on title.
- Each spouse paid half the morgage, half the taxes (& cheques worded as such), half the bills, utilities. The looked after each others children as their own, including discipline, entertainment, feeding and cleaning up after. Both looked after the house including purchases like landscaping, and some major appliances and maintenance. Trips together with her child as a family (including family pictures) and holidays celebrated together with both kids
-Separation in November of 2007.
The spouse that left has a child that I was the main father too. Their actual father, pays little support and rarely sees the child and does not take him for weekends. Am I liable for child support since it is more then 3 years?
As well, can I say she was renting instead of living together as a couple?
What type of settlement should I offer her if she does not go for child support?
