Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  to accompany spouse 

Summary:

Their relationship was maintained for 6 months and falls short of the 12-month requirement. Furthermore, their family circumstances do not clearly favour a finding of just cause. They did not have a child and they were not attempting to create a stable family unit for a child. CUB 24562 referred to. Claimant and her partner cohabited for 2 months and maintained a long-distance relationship for another 4 months. These 6 months fall short of the 12-month requirement established by other statutory schemes for finding a common-law marriage.
