Question:     We have been living together for the last eight years.  We are not married.  We have one child. 

                      Now he wants to leave me for another woman.  If he does, what rights do I have?

A:      Recently the common law spouse has gained legal status.  Since you have lived in a relationship of interdependence for               eight years and a child has been born, you qualify as a “AIP” or “Adult Interdependent Partner.”  This means that similar to a           wife you have rights to claim not only child support, but perhaps spousal support.  You also have a right to inherit his estate            should he die while you are together.

Q:      Do I get half of everything?

A:      No.  You must be formally married to claim one half share under the Matrimonial Property Act.
