How likely to get spousal support FOr common law IN ontario?

[blaeey]

Okay ive been in a relationship with the father of my child about 3 years a little on and off. We;ve lived together for a year straight, However before this we were living with him for at least 60% of the year before that. And we saw him before that as well. (he stayed and visited with us for weekends, and a week here and there and vice versa). WE usually For the previous year would spend about two weeks with him then two at my mothers, and then 4-5 weeks with him and then go home for 2-4 weeks, ect and it was AT LEAST 60 % of that whole year we lived with eachother, My mailing address has been His since at least 2010. maybe before this. I dont know which month. All of a sudden hes telling us he wants space well ME he wants space. Then it turned into a fight and then it was I dont want you here, or be with you anymore ect ect, But then Agreed to too take a couple weeks to think. Although I believe he is nOW seeing someone else and has been at least a month.

We dont have any where to go but my parents but that can not be a long term thing. I lost my job in October of this year, As i was part time and watched our son the rest of the time to save us Sitter money ect. We could move in with my mother but over a year ago I changed OUR family doctor and dentists, too Where he lives which is 4 hours drive to my mothers. Ive been applying for jobs where we currently live and have been trying too get one to save up and go back to school. Also other things that he said hed help with which was get my lisence and help me go back to school with money, he has not yet, But always said he would I DOUBT he would now if he is with someone else.

My point is, Has anyone IN ONTARIO gone for spousal support? And got it if they were living together a year, OR a year and a half and had a child together? he is 2.5 years old Now.

also, would we have too Move out? I was hopinh he would be civil So I could at least find a job and save up ad get my own apartment close to him so that he could still Watch our son when he has days off and i get break and because it is the routine our son has grown too know and love.

I may plan on seeing a lawyer for free counsel about If there is even a case, But would Love too Know if it is even WORTH pursuing. He said while arguing hed pay spousal support if it meant we left.
bUt i highly doubt he would or that his parents although being understanding now wouldnt want me seeking spousal support.

Chances are pretty damned slim.

The relationship doesn't meet the standard of common law marriage . Take your child support and stop making excuses and get a job.

in america, this situation would merit what we all PALIMONY. i don't know if it is still available or if Canada recognises this arrangement. your gov't has good programs to help single mothers with furthering her education.grants are available
