question about common-law

[Line.a]

define what "short absences" would be like.. are we
talking about weeks or a month here? hope someone can
help me.

alright thanks. do we have to be IN a common-law relationship where we've signed it and what not are in a conjugal relationship before we can qualify?

Your question isn't clear. Can you please explain in more detail? What do you mean by "where we've signed it".

 

[Line.a]

that just made me sound dumb.
my question is do we have to live in a 12 month
continuous relationship without having gone under the
common-law? as in just a conjugal relatioship?

Living together for 12 consecutive months IS what defines a common-law relationship, not signing something. Is that what you're asking?
