I was in a 4 year de facto relationship, but not living together. While we were in this de facto relationship I saw him twice a week sometimes more in that time. He also bought property that is a house. Am I entitled to anything at now? Thank you.

Hi Carol,
I think as a de facto, you may have an argument - say if you contributed to payments for the house, or made substantial homemaker contributions while at the house, but have a look at the following pages, which provide guidance and information relating to your question:

- If you're in any State other than WA - The Family Law Courts "De facto relationships" page.
- If you're in WA - This LawAnswers Family Law Forum post.

Hi Carol,
Here is a bit more information in another post on the new de facto property regime. It may help you determine whether your relationship comes within the scope of the Family Court's jurisdiction and give you some guidance on the laws that apply.

The AG's website also has some useful information:
