A man (boyfriend) and woman have lived together for a 18 months or so. The female in the relationship has a child from a previous marriage (she has not been divorced from her husband). The female purchased a house, entirely in her name. The mortgage, the bills, everything is in her name. All major purchases in the house were solely her own.

If the relationship ends what are his(boyfriend) legal rights in terms of property and possessions?

Tell ya what though. I'm pretty darn comfortable saying that BF & GF are NOT "married" (common law or otherwise) because GF is still married to someone else.
