Are you considered common law as soon as you live with someone and there are children involved even if the children belong to one parent. Or does the standard 12 months to the date apply.
My situation is that I work and paid my regular taxes from work which is usually enough at the end of the year, however my partner and I bought a house September and now live together. This means I'm going to have to pay My children are not his children. Do I have to claim common law for my 2006 Income tax. This makes a huge difference to me if I don't have claim him, if I do I'll be paying alot this year even if he wasn't living with me for most of the year.
Also How does someone live as a couple in my situation live together and never claim together and get away with it, while researching for this answer I found out alot and I mean alot that don't and never have claimed together for years. I also know some who have gotten caught how is that fair for some.
