A common-law spouse may receive compensation if he or she has, for example, worked for his or her spouse and thus enabled him or her to add to his or her property and thus division of property based solely on ownership would be unjust.
Por ejemplo, puede percibir una compensación si con su trabajo ha contribuido al aumento del patrimonio del otro integrante y un reparto basado en la mera proporción de la propiedad resultase, por dicha razón, no ajustado a derecho.
