Be careful ! Costa Rica male gringo/chica tica laws are weird and strict. After 3 weeks you could be declared her common law husband, have your bank account confiscated and owe Ch*ld support for her 2 to 3 chillens...

After 3 weeks
Not sure if that is a typo or you simply do not know the law and decided to make up your own version.
In Costa Rica you (currently JUST a man and a woman) are considered Common-Law (“Union Libre”) after living together JUST 3 years - hence - entitled to all the same rights as a married couple. To prove it, you just need a couple witnesses and a judge.
If you want Alimony, you must file it within 2 years of separation.
Together less than 3 years? She is is not entitled to any $$ legally. (I’m not sure how Implied Promise type things - like the man promised to take care of her forever, or she quit her job for him or something.) .
Had K*ds together? That’s a separate Paternity/Ch*ld support case and far different from Ch*ldren that were hers prior to your relationship.(Law 8101 Ley de Paternidad Responsable).
I was just joking, exaggerating for effect, thanks for the info, very useful for all of us. I did hear a gringo could be made to pay Ch*ld support for her K*ds even if they are not his, don't know if there's any truth to that or if it's true under certain circumstances.
A friend of mine here, no Stanford grad, if you get my meaning, married an ex HLH puta, not even one of the better ones, and she left him after 90 days and he thought she had some rights to his condo, etc., so he sold it fast and stopped his ss and pension from coming to his CR bank account and fled back to the U.S. Don't know if he knew something or was just over reacting...
