Gents:

i just read the following in Craigslist:

"If you just live with a Costa Rican woman for as little as two years, you have to pay her support for the rest of her life . Costa Rican women know this law, and how to use it to support themselves . If you try to leave the country, police will take you off the plane ."

Is this an urban myth or the truth?

BTW, I have no intention of staying with a women for 2 years and I have even less intention of staying with a women for 2 years in CR.

In Costa Rica, it seems like you don't have to pay shit. So many deadbeat fathers running around, not paying a dime to support their K*ds. I don't see it being any different for women.

While this may be true, I still would not want my name coming up on the computer, when I get off the plane, looking forward to another great weekend in CR. That'd ruin your day! And I'm sure you wouldn't be the first...

So, for all your ex-pats in CR with a live-in chica, just make sure to let her go after 23 months! :shock:

MG,
You are absolutely correct amigo. I should have been more clear in my reply.

I would like to amend my previous statement to: "In Costa Rica, it seems like you don't have to pay shit if you are a Tico."

My understanding from a friend who is going through this is it is 3 years. I am good for another 2 years 9 months and 23 days, but whose counting.

Do "Common Law" marriages exist in Costa Rica?

Common Law marriages, referred to as 'imputed' or 'free union' marriages exist in Costa Rica, where a man and a woman have lived in a union for three or more years, which is open, public, known and stable. Such a marriage or union, shall have the same legal effect as a legally recognized marriage.


While I am sure this information is more accurate than a posting on Graig's list I would not depend on it if I was involved in a domestic situation. Best thing to do is seek competent counsel before entering into a relationship.

There's your escape clause on a technicality. I wouldn't exactly classify a relationship with a Tica as ever being stable.... :lol:

Unfortunately, it is more truth than lie. It takes very little effort on the part of a CR citizen to have you detained. If you "step over the boundaries" of mongering and get her knocked up or marry her, quite frankly, you are P-hucked. Even if you live with her for 2 years it is common law marriage. Never buy anything in CR. Rent the chicas, rent the hotel room etc..etc.. I confirmed monger and CRT VIP can probably tell the story better than I. Maybe he will speak up. He got involved with a psycho Tica and was temporarily detained. It is still and always will be a game of "screw the gringo." We play on their field and they make the rules.

I always thought if you lived with a tica for 2 years it meant you were married but drifter quoted a good source.

If ticos don't pay the Ch*ld support they throw them in san sabastion prison. I know 3 ticas whose exhusbands are there. Of course the ticos must have a job to be expected to pay.

A tica can prevent you from leaving the country for a variety of reasons. Guilty until proven innocent is the law here.

The two year common law is in effect in Colombia also.
I know a guy that is going through it as we speak.

It may vary well be in most of the Latin countries?
I have warned every guy that I think may fall into this.
