In Alberta, the term “common
law” has been replaced with the term “Adult Interdependent
Partner” (AIP). You can become an AIP three different ways:
(1) you live together for at least 3 consecutive
years in a relationship of interdependence;
(2) you have a child together and live together with some degree of
permanence; or
(3) you enter a contract to become an AIP with each other.
