Just a quick question...
I was in an on again/off again relationship. We claimed common law marriage on taxes etc and had three kids. We never lived together for longer than 6 months to a year at a time. Total was probably less than 3 years.
The relationship has been over for years, and we have both moved on. Because we have kids, we often need to provide information about our relationship.
So, my question is...when a common law marriage breaks up, are we considered by law to be divorced? Or just go back to being single??
When a question on a form asks what my "relationship to other parent" is, and the options are:
Single
Common-Law
Married
Separated
Divorced
Which is the most accurate?? None of them seem to fit properly. We weren't single living together, we weren't married so can't be divorced or separated, ???
