Legal Question in Family Law in California
Break up of multi-year relationship, everything contested
Together 6 years, 3 in Texas, 2 in California. Joint apartments, bank account. He didn't work majority of time. We split, he refused to repay money owed over course of relationship (he's a doc), I had to leave my things behind, he did some nasty tactics to wrangle custody after it was clear i'd resigned my job and was leaving. Now refuses me to see my daughter in MN (claiming i'm crazy and abusive), and also still refuses to repay any debt. We were together many years and he always purported me as his significant other or fiancee, I don't know if that means anything- and I don't know what I can do from out of state to address any of these issues, or if a lawyer would work on contingency on this type of case.

I looked at the Texas common law marriage laws about 15 years ago. At that time they were very liberal. The time for a common law marriage was very short. If being married would help your position then you should consider that angle. Contact an attorney MN regarding the advantage or disavantage of being married rather than just parents of common children.

With regard to paenting issues, you will have to file a Motion in Minnesota seeking to establish parenting time and other parenting rights.
There is nothing that you can do about the debts. First, they were incurred in anothr state. Second, you would have to prove there was an agreement to repay the debts. The fact that you were a fiance or significant other changes nothing.
