People who are married or who lived together in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years are entitled to share in the property they acquired during their relationship, and are entitled to keep any property they each brought into the relationship. The same thing goes for debt. Spouses are presumed to be equally responsible for debt accumulating during the relationship but be separately responsible for any debt that they had going into the relationship.
