Is he sure they were common law? I think you need to have lived together for 2 years and either share a bank account or house or children or some other asset.

Unfortunately for the guy, since the girl is such a cow, to be polite, you don't need to have any of that stuff to prove that you're common-law. All you need is ONE piece of mail being sent to that address and proof you're not roomates (a photo, witnesses that say you were a couple) and it will hold up in court. And it only takes 6 CONTINUOUS months to be CL.
In my opinion, if you're worried about your sh*t, don't get into a relationship in the first place where living together is the option because if you can't trust that your partner is NOT going to take you for everything you had before the two of you meet, she's probably not worth it. Real women who are worth more than just a good lay would not try and take equity that doesn't belong to them.
