Hi kim,
Except for a lease or deed showing both the parties' names, I think it's normally difficult to prove the commencement of a common law relationship. Unfortunately, it's really your facts against your partner's facts.
As far as the laws that govern, I would say the laws of province in which the parties carried on their common law relationship would govern the separation. This is particularly so if the division of a home is involved.
