The tax man commeth. He says I am Common Law with my girlfriend. We have a child together. been living together off and on for a couple years. I am separated from a previous marriage.
I was told by the government before that it is my choice if I want to claim Common Law because I am not divorced from a previous marriage and well, I figure polygamy isnt legal, so why am I considered common law. Before I contest this issue does anyone know for sure? Am I legally common law if I am Separated from a previous marriage?
Any help is appreciated. I have 30 days to contest or my girlfriend loses child tax credits.
Thanks.
