Re: common law wife

Hello. In Illinois the male's wife does have

a claim to assets that were acquired by male.

All that he acquired was marital property. Should the male and his wife get divorced, his

property acquired during the 10 years of co-

habitation with the other lady will be subject

to a 1/2 division. Will be happy to answer

any additional questions you may have.
