In a hypothetical scenario, if one person’s stock portfolio doubled in value over a period of six months while in a common-law relationship, the date of the relationship’s commencement could influence how the increased value of the assets is divided in the event of a separation. If the relationship started after the portfolio had already appreciated significantly, the other partner may argue for a lesser share of the increase. Conversely, if the relationship began before the appreciation, both partners may have a stronger claim to a share of the increased value.

It is essential to document and retain evidence of the relationship’s start date, especially if substantial financial assets are involved.
