| 509459 | 2006-12-25 07:18:00 | Girlfriend. Same bed. Yes it is. Bank accounts have nothing to do with it. And when its 2 years then its official. So she gets to take half your stuff when she leaves. |

Defacto relationships come into legal effect under different circumstances - Winz define it quite strictly whereby it doesn't matter how long you've been together. In terms of seperation issues the legal default period is three years. |

| 509463 | 2006-12-25 09:43:00 | The term de facto relationship is quite confusing It says it depends if you share income, and if your family knows about the relationship etc Studylink is really annoying.Sent us a form to fill out It states Change of bank accounts and income One person said yes its a de facto relationship.Another says no,just ignore the woman. |

| 509464 | 2006-12-25 09:50:00 | Possibly. And if the relationship lasts 3 years then you each have a claim on half of the total relationship property. So for example, if you own a car but your girlfriend uses it to get groceries for both of you then it is likely to be classified as relationship property. And you get a crack at her superannuation. As to what constitutes a relationship - here are some factors: • How long you have lived together • Whether you live in the same house all or part of the time • Whether you have a sexual relationship • Whether you mingle your finances • Whether one of you supports the other financially • Who owns your property, how you use it and how you got it • Whether you are both committed to a shared life • Whether you have children and who looks after them • Who does the housework • Whether other people see you as being in a relationship |

| 509465 | 2006-12-25 12:49:00 | for winz purposes the basic definition is if the relationship is 'in the nature of marriage' .....i'd say you fulfil that....seperate bank accounts dont matter really..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 509466 | 2006-12-25 22:57:00 | Apart from WINZ definition which is probably if they stood next to you for more than 1 hour, according to the law, if you have been together keeping house for 2 years or more, then when you "divorce" its 50/50 same as a married couple. | pctek (84) | ||
