My Dominican girlfriend and I have been together for some time and now we're talking about taking our relationship to the next level. She is considering moving in with me.
Although we do trust each other, I think it would be wise on my part to confirm how the law works in the DR with regards to common law status. Also, it might not necessarily be my girlfriend who has designs on my assets, but her family.
I own my own property which is in a corporation. My only other major asset here is my car, with the metricula in my name. My money and pensions are in England.
So the questions are:
After what period of time does she legally become my common-law-wife?
What is she (or her family) entitled to?
What insurances can I put in place to protect me?
Thanks in advance.
