    Common law relationships are those that do not involve a formal marriage ceremony. To be considered common law spouses for the purposes of being eligible for support from each other, you must either:

    • Live together continuously as a couple for at least three years; or
    • Live together continuously for any length of time as long you are in “a relationship of some permanence” and have a child together.
