Common Law Spouses ~ Matrimonial Homes (1)

Common Law Spouses ~ Matrimonial Homes
Ontario Real Estate Source
By Brian Madigan LL.B.
Question
Is a common law spouse entitled to the rights of a "matrimonial home"? 
 
Answer 
 
Based on this particular question, the answer is "yes".
However, it may be that another question was intended.
The “key” to the answer is that they were “spouses”. So, even common law spouses are true spouses.
This ends up simply being a tricky exam question, because in real life you would interpret common law spouses not to mean “spouses” but just to mean “living together”.
