Together for ten years with three children, Hollie and Sean are in a common law relationship. They have divided their expenditures as his and hers, which includes Hollie's student loans as solely her own (while Sean's education was funded through a scholarship). Generally, Sean pays the bigger items - all which he handles through automatic deductions, so he doesn't even see the bills - but has fewer of them, while Hollie handles smaller expenses but far more of them.
