In Ontario, common law relationships begin after three years of cohabitation, but this does not automatically dictate the end of spousal support. Spousal support can be awarded based on various factors, including the length of the relationship, financial dependency, and the recipient's needs. Even after a common law relationship ends, one partner may still be entitled to spousal support depending on the circumstances. It's important to consult a legal professional for specific advice regarding individual situations.
