Embed the BC Common-Law Checker

Help visitors figure out whether they qualify as spouses under BC's Family Law Act, what rights apply, and — if they've separated — how much time is left on the 2-year property-claim limitation. Free for law firms, legal aid clinics, family services organizations, and community resources.

Why embed this checker

Grounded in the statutes.Applies BC's Family Law Act s.3(1)(b) 2-year and child-pathway tests, the marriage-like factors, and the s.198(2) limitation period.
Limitation countdown.Shows exactly how many days are left to file a property or spousal-support claim after separation — the deadline most people don't know about.
Fast and private. No account required, no data collection, no tracking of your visitors.
Mobile-responsive. Works cleanly on any screen size and auto-resizes to fit its content.
