An unmarried domestic partner of either sex may not have the same opportunity to a fair property settlement as a married person.
Whether you've been living together for 1 year, 10 years or even 50 years, if you're not married, you have no automatic legal right over your partner's assets.Often someone will move into a property that their partner already owns, or it may be that one person can't afford to contribute to the purchase of a new house.
Common-law marriage, also known as non-ceremonial marriage, sui iuris marriage, informal marriage, or marriage by habit and repute, is a legal framework where a couple may be considered married without having formally registered their relation as a civil or religious marriage.

In general, unmarried couples can't claim ownership of each other's property in the event of a breakup. This applies to big investments (such as a house) and smaller items (such as furniture). Gifts made during the relationship remain the property of the recipient.
