Spousal/Child Support and Common Law

[AJM]

Does anyone know what the laws are in the DR regarding spousal support and common law marriage? I have heard that if you live with someone there for more than five years, they may be able to get 50-percent of your assets even if you are not married? What are the laws regarding child support? How does the Court decide how much support is award?

THANKS!!

Guzman is the man so ask him.

From what I have read so far it's based on your income not assets, so book your flight now
