Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: Common Law Separation in Ontario


The property rights of Common Law spouses upon separation are not governed by any Ontario statute.

Common Law spouses may still advance family property claims, especially where property has been acquired in a “joint family venture”

A spouse may also have property rights if they have contributed to the acquisition, maintenance, or improvement of property owned by their common law spouse
