No, there is no automatic right to property division with a common law spousal relationship in BC. It is not the same legally as being married. If she could prove that she made actual contributions to your assets or to improving or maintaining your assets, she could have a claim, but it would be limited to the value of those contributions, and not an automatic 50 per cent.
