Note from asker:
thanks a lot, i have just found a document with the term, it is exactly the same, thanks a lot
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : I think this is a misleading term because it has no legal meaning in many countries.

True, however it does have a social meaning in many countries, in this case it is not a legal relationship, but rather a social one; moreover, "common-law" means it is not official, but rather thus considered by the common people.

domestic partner

This politically correct option may be too broad for your purposes--is the element of "sentimental" (read:sexual) partner vital? And technically, "domestic partner" can be used to describe a legal spouse, of course, but I've never seen it used except in the sense you describe.

HTH.

partner

I know partner could also technically refer to a spouse, but I think it's clear from the context that they're not married.

common-law spouse (wife or husband depending upon country)

Hi.

This depends a little as to whether you are looking for a UK or US translation, but a common one would be "common-law spouse".

All the best,

Tonia

neutral philgoddard : I think the fact that your reference is to the myths of common-law marriage suggests that this is not the best translation!
