Thank you. As a general rule, the partners keep their own property for common law spouses, the property is not divided. However, if you made contribution towards this property, you may be able tclaim some rights to it.

As a common law and not married partner, the length of time you lived in there will not matter.

If you are married, the property will likely be split 50/50.

Your partner cannot force you to stay in Canada, but you are unlikely going to be able to take the child with you when you move.

The courts do not like to uproot the child, and the custody issue will need to be addressed at the time of separation. If you are moving to a different country, the court will likely order sole custody as it does not make sense for the two parents to swap the children overseas.

How old is the child and how long has he/she been in Canada?

This sounds like she is a habitual resident of Canada and will be subjected to the jurisdiction of the Canadian courts.

That depends on whether you are wholly financially dependent on your partner. It is not automatic and it is determined on a case-by-case basis.

You are very welcome! Is there anything else I can help you with today?
