Is it true HK does not recognize common law marriage? I thought HK's laws were similar to the UK?


Thanks

In regard to visa's, inheritance, etc common law marriage is not recognised.

I should have been clearer - this is regard a maintenance claim to an absent father.

Dear Evildeeds,


Can you elaborate? I am only asking because me and my husband of 9 months (with whom I have lived with for 12 years) are considering adoption. I was told that I could not proceed with the adoption until we were married for three years. If I went to family court here in Hong Kong and established a cohabitating relationship (using financial documents and proof of residence documents) for those 12 years would I have a good case or am I waisting my time? Please help.

I was told that I would have to wait to meet the requirements from International Social Services. It would seem that since I reside in Hong Kong I must meet abide by the Statutes set forth by this governement in order to adopt here or outside of this country regardless of my nationality. Does anyone know of anything different?
