Law related to the de facto relationships
It is vital that one knows what the de facto relationships is, before heading for legal action about it. That way, you can be sure of your rights and position in the relationship with your partner. A de facto relationship has two persons who are neither married nor related by family. They have been living together like a couple for at least two years, may or may not have a sexual relationship, and may or may not be of the same gender. Also, a de facto relationship can develop between two persons such as one is legally married to someone else, or one is already in another de facto relationship. Since 2009, the de facto relationships across Australia have the same legal rights like the married relationships of Australia.
