Re: Help Me Please
In California no matter how you live together the law does not consider you to be married. Unmarried couples are not controlled by community property laws. However, you may be able to prove in court that there was an agreement to share the increase in your assets. Further if you lived in another state where common law marriage is provided for and met the requirements, then California would recognize the marriage. You need to consult with an attorney as this is a comples area of the law.
