Hi and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is ***** ***** I will be assisting you with your question.

I am licensed Canadian lawyer, and this conversation is for informational purposes only. I kindly ask for your patience as some questions take longer to answer and I may have to do legal research. I may be away from my desk from time to time, but rest assured I will always return back as soon as possible. If at any point during our conversation you don’t understand something, please let me know so I can clarify.

Good morning – sorry to hear about the situation. If she owns her phone, then she is not obligated to surround it to you unless you have a court order. It is unlikely a court would order her to surround her phone given infidelity is not a crime. If the cellular service is under your name, then can inquire with the cell company for any call/text records they may have.

Does that help answer your question today or did you have any follow up questions?

There is no automatic right to property division for common-law couples in PEI. That's only for married couples.

Correct. Just the number texted (assuming it's a SMS and not imessage or some other messaging app).

"This equal division law does not apply to common law spouses. When common law spouses separate, the person whose name is ***** ***** deed or receipt may be the only one entitled to it."
