Even common-law people should make an agreement - we call it a Cohabitation Agreement.
If you do one, do it with seperate lawyers (independent legal advice). A Pre-nup you make from a kit, and without ILA, will probably not be enforeceable.

It was my understanding that money earned before the marriage was not subject to being divided if the marriage ends. Only the growth of that money. Is that correct?
