[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 145005, member: 3907"] Oh, there sure is. Common law marriage in Ontario gives you of the rights [I][B]and[/B][/I] responsibilities of a legal marriage (aside from certain complex tax regulations). So yes, if boyfriend wants to have the rights of a husband, then he is also legally on the hook for any responsibilities. However, as Witz so succinctly put it, "He sounds like a sociopath, but without enough experience/maturity to pull it off. " I don't know that forcing him to take on those responsibilities would make the situation better, and it might make it worse. As for dissolving a common-law marriage, around these parts if you can't settle things amicably, then there's a very complicated legal mess to deal with. Yuck. [/QUOTE]
