Hi,
My same-gender partner lives with me four days a week. The other days she as at her mother's house to care for her kids. Our finances are joint and I ultimately I share support of her children because I earn more. Our relationship is secret from her mother who cares for her children. We cannot take the children away from the grandmother while we are in the Philippines. She has lied (sorry) to her mother that she is away because of her work. But the truth is we have a joint household.
Do we fit into the Common-Law category, given that we have been in this situation for a year?
Our plan is to move to Canada so we can be together. She will tell her mother that it is for work, so she won't be heartbroken, as what would happen if she were told the truth. We will get the children after six months and make sure that we continue to support her mother financially.
Thanks
