As I understand it, what's yours is yours. The only entitlement a common law spouse can have to "your stuff" would be if they can somehow prove that they contributed to your increase in weath. So if I own a house and my gf moves in, she's not entitled to anything unless she can prove that she contributed to increasing the value (paying part of the mortgage, doing renos etc).
At least that's how I understand it......
