I have a friend & he had been living with his girlfriend for 2 years. His girlfriend has a 7 years old son which they did not have together. If they lived together for 3 years, will they automatically be married & if he decides to broke up with her, will he be responsible to pay her son's living expanses every month?

They will NOT be automatically married - there is nothing automatic about marriage. If her son is not his son then NO he doesn't have to pay. After 3 years, she has some rights over the division of property. He should keep records on who bought what. Hope this helps..

they would be considered common law. The biological father would still be responsible for his son. If she does not know who that is, then it would still be the government that would pay for him. They would not be automatically married. If that was the case, what would be the point of getting married and spending all that coin, if you could just be married by living together for 3 years? Living common law he would have a right to the items that he had brought into the relationship. Any purchases he can prove that he paid for without her paying for any of it Than it is his, as long as she did not get rid of her own possessions, because he was getting new things, ie. furniture, than they would have to split the value. Bottom line, living Common Law is not the same as being married and no he wouldn't have to pay her alimony. There would not be a divorce, therefore why would there be alimony? The people that are telling you yes are absolutely mistaken.

the common law marriage is after 7 years i believe.yes he would be responsible if she put his name on the birth certificate whether he is the father or not.if he is going to break up get it over with before you do have a kid with her! my second husband should have been smarter he was with a girl who was already pregnant but got so caught up in the idea of having a son that he put his name on the birth certificate knowing it was not his kid and to add insult to injury married her 19 months later so when her third child also not his came along they were married so he is the legal father.he is still paying support and refuses to see the kids hasn't seen them in almost 8 years!!! he was separated from her almost 6 years before he finally divorced her! even though she lived with at least 3 other men during that time and worked for "an escort service! yeah!right? you cant make a housewife out of a whore!smarten up and get out while you can!good luck.

This feels like displaced unhappiness and consistent with possibility even an unstated concern on the subject of your courting. you're making it sound like a million 12 months and a pair of years of relationship isn't 'adequate' time earlier somebody could desire to get engaged. quite the different, maximum couples get engaged after 12-sixteen months while they have self belief have got here across 'the single'. The longer the courting, the 'honeymoon' era passes and the less possibly a pair receives engaged because of the fact they're head over heels in love, yet particularly through convenience point and background they have with the different individual and in many circumstances, their complete social and financial existence is universal around this individual. A extreme share declare it grow to be extra elementary to get married than 'start up all over lower back'. the different engaged couples are nevertheless in the 'magically in love, stars of their eyes' area of their relationships. i think what you sense is unhappiness in not sharing that feeling or circumstances particularly than on the subject of the 'thunder' or spotlight, exceedingly as you had to talk him into marriage. even though you'll be in a stronger place on your view of 'married existence'. because of the fact the years pass with the aid of, a courting falls into many times going on varieties and whilst that sounds uninteresting, is somewhat solid on your actual wellness. you will not sense the huge 'letdown' while the honeymoon area is over. you're already delicate understanding precisely what you have become and how your courting would be. Congratulations and maximum suitable desires.

LOL he was screwed after three months! Not years. He would have to provide her with a standard of living she is now used to. And all assets and debts incurred during the relationship would have to be split. Unless of course she makes more than him then it would be vise versa.
