Hull on Estates Episode #280 - Common Law Relationships and Dependent Support Claims

This week on Hull on Estates, Paul Trudelle and Holly LeValliant discuss what is required to prove a common law relationship. The courts take a liberal approach to determining whether a relationship is common law. The general factors used to assess the relationship are shelter, sexual and personal behavior, services, social, societal, support and children. Paul and Holly reference two cases in the podcast: Molodowich v. Penttinen and Perkovic v. McClyment.
