Common-Law relationships: significant differences
1m
According to a study conducted for the CSF and ÉducÉpargne, nearly 50% of people living in a common-law relationship perceive that, financially, it is equivalent to being married. However, in the event of a separation, the legal differences are numerous, particularly regarding the division of property, the house, or investments. A report prepared by the organization Éducaloi can be helpful.
The law on family law reform and the establishment of a new "parental union" regime, adopted in June 2024, attracted significant attention. It will impact common-law partners who have children together. However, this change will only automatically apply for children born or adopted after June 30, 2025.

Professionals can play a crucial role in overcoming obstacles for women to achieve a financially satisfactory retirement.
