PBH / colombia (travelguide, pictures) / post |
When a couple live together for a certain time in Colombia, (i've heard 1 year and i've heard 2 or more years, actually i've heard about 15 different lengths), they can be considered common law married. First, does anyone know the exact amount of time before the common law marriage kicks in?
A PBHer that I know was once unfairly victimized in this after about 14 months of living with the woman. The woman lied about the length of the stay and an expensive legal quagmire developed. I myself want to avoid costly legal problems that may arise.
A layman in law, (my limo driver), informed me that if i get the woman to sign a "contract of capitulation", I can live with her forever if I want, without forfeiting any of my assets should the relationship tank after a few years.
Now believe me, I have a good Bogota attorney who I would consult on this matter..........what I'm asking is have any PBHers used capitulation and is it enforceable?

He was concerned about this 'two year rule' after a relationship ended and was going to see an attorney. No idea how it turned out, though.

Brians says on Jul 20, 2008, 09:46: I believe the truthspeaker is "The Batman"!!! The vigilant of the night here to protect the innocents of PBH. He is the law that the Mods cannot control in this chaotic forum of PBH. He is both good and evil and wrestles with his own inner demons. Or he is just a troll. I am not sure yet.
