After the success of Season One, filming for Season Two quickly started, with Lenehan Musgrave’s office as one of the set locations. All proceeds earned from allowing the office to be used as a set location, will be donated to Phoenix Youth.

What constitutes common law?

A common law relationship is simply the act of living together in a marriage-like relationship without actually being legally married. It does not require any kind of legal process to create a common law union. The definition of common law partnership also differs depending on the laws applied. For example, the Canada Pension Plan states that two people are in a common law relationship after a year of cohabitation. The Parenting and Support Act, on the other hand, requires two years of cohabitation before a relationship can be described as common law.
