Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

My Rights as stay at home fiancee' caregiver to an alcoholic business profession

I was a professional woman that fell in love with an alcoholic and manic depressant man. I had to quit my job in order to help him try to recover from his disease. He moved into my home that I rented and lived there approx. 6 months, then he bought a house which we still reside. Now the relationship has deterorated drastically, and the house is in his name. I have no job, or income......but want very much to get out and start a new life. My question is: what rights do I have as to income, since I quit my job to help him recover? Or, do I have no rights since we were only engaged and not legally married to one another. HELP!
