The time span is irrelevant on its own, there has to be several factors which are only decided in court, there has to be an inferred common intention to share, this is based on constructive trusts, created by the court, to ensure a case by case fair and equitable distribution in the event of marriage/ relationship break down, the common law marriage is a legal fallacy, it has no legal bearing on thing, you treated as cohabitants who are unmarried. If you are married then things are far more favourable.

If you are not married then not a hope. If, however, you enter into some sort of partnership with a legal agreement, where each party gives the other to half of their goods and chattels (or more realistically, half of the value) you might get somewhere.
Anyway, if you are thinking that way, why are you in a relationship with this partner? It doesn't sound too stable to me...

There is no time. Is this a legal union? or is it just living together. If it is the former, then you never get half. If it is a legal union, it would have to be dissolved in court and if thats the case the courts would have to rule for you , and they may not give half in a same sex situation. It really depends on what statues the individual states have reguarding the separation.

You are not entiltled to any of your partners estate regardless of how long you have lived together. You do not have the same rights as someone who is married or entered entered a civil partnership.
You would only have legal entiltlement if you own part of the etstate or have made contributions.
To be given any part of your partners estate, if you not have made any contributions or ownership, you would need at least one of the following:
1. Cohabitation agreement
2. Decleration of Trust
3. Wills

If you have been living as a partner, you are not entitled to any property of your partner. It all goes to his next of kin. That is the difference that piece of paper that says marriage certificare, makes.

Gold Digger!!!!
You're never "entitled" to something another person owns. You might be able to legally obtain it, but that doesn't make you entitled to it.
Why don't you get a job and earn it like they did?!!!

Any amount of time, so long as you get married first. Common law marriage = myth = no rights at all what so ever

There is no such thing as common law marriage, so you'll get nothing unles it's in a will.

Why, did you decide you no longer want to be with him, or was that the plan from the start. Make your own way in life, hooker.
