What factors are considered to determine whether a relationship is marriage-like?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Campbell v. Campbell, 2011 BCSC 1491 (CanLII):

It is understandable that the presence or absence of any particular factor cannot be determinative of whether a relationship is marriage-like. This is because equally there is no checklist of characteristics that will invariably be found in all marriages. In this regard I respectfully agree with the following from the judgment of Ryan-Froslie J. in Yakiwchuk v. Oaks, 2003 SKQB 124 [Yakiwchuk]:
