My partner and I have been in a committed relationship for six years now. During those years I was legally separated from my previous spouse but received my final divorce papers just two months ago. Now my partner and I are going through a rocky period and I have moved out to allow each of us time to figure out if we are really committed to a future together. My question: if either of us makes a claim for support against the other would a court recognize us as common law spouses despite my not having been divorced for most of the past six years?

No.
Check it out under ontario:
Common-law marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"No married person may become eligible to begin the three-year countdown to have a recognized common law spouse until divorce from the first spouse occurs."

That said, I believe your version here, the Wikipedia is full of errors and needs editing badly. For example it says in Ontario common law kicks in after one year; it is three.
