結婚 vs Common Law

yokult

眼見新聞話離婚﹐而且有D西人同事就算生埋仔都唔唸住結婚﹐住埋一齊做 Common Law 算。

忽然唸﹐其實 Common Law 同 married 在法律上有乜唔同? 以我所知﹐住埋一齊一年就算 Common Law. 唔知稅務有乜唔同﹐分手時會唔會好似離婚o甘分身家?

當然﹐為左父母 expectation, 第時生左小朋友﹐都係會結婚比小朋友一個正常家庭長大。

結婚係唔係比女方一個保障﹐等個男人無o甘易走~ 哈哈~

Tax is the same.  I think everyone legally and tax-wise is the same.

But it makes a big difference psychologically to me.  Both parties are less committed to the relationship.  

Just go sign the paper, and you don't have to have a wedding ma.

    分開 使唔使分身家？

According to the BC Family Relations Act, the making of a claim for a division of property that says who gets what when a marriage ends doesn't apply to common-law relationships.

係啊﹐我地同律師傾過﹐好似結唔結婚﹐法律上真係無咩分別架

但係﹐你介紹比朋友時﹐說﹕我的老公/老婆﹐比起﹕我的男友/女友﹐好似多左D歸屬感﹐共同感﹐親切感。。。之類之類囉。。。畢竟﹐男女朋友好容易換畫﹐老公老婆嘛﹐起碼都有D手續要辦先分得到手﹐就係o甘

我係結婚支持者﹐女人﹐最少都要結一次

如果 common law 無得分身家，gum 就好大分別 wor。

Look4chrisng: I don't know if common law can still use the Spouse Tax Credit.

tax is the same for sure.  
I am not 100% sure about the legal part.  But at least the property is divided by each partner's effort.  Generally homemaker and income earner  are considered contributing the same effort.  Same effort means 50-50.  I guess a better lawyer may get more lor.

But sometime even in a divorce,  you want the woman to get more, since she usually has your kids

Living together under a common law sounds almost equal to living with sex partner to me.

Don't want to sign the paper sounds "wanting to leave a back door open" to me.

I am a supporter of signing that piece of "useless" paper.
