<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 1, 2013) A third of all Quebec couples have &quot;common law&quot; partnerships - not marriages.

<title>For Quebec&apos;s common law couples, an uncertain future</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20014/20120625/for-quebec-apos-s-common-law-couples-an-uncertain-future</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 25, 2012) Here in New York, debate over same-sex marriage has existed for the last few years.  But just across the border in Quebec, the big issue is that a lot of couples never marry at all. One third of Quebecois couples have de facto, or common law, partnerships. They live together, join their finances and have families without getting married. That&apos;s different than in the U.S., where common law relationships are fairly rare. And now, a case now making its way through the courts may change the rules for millions of unmarried Quebecois couples. Sarah Harris has more.
