Re: commonlaw marriage - alimoney
There is no "common law" marriage in Missouri and no "palimony" either. You still have the problem of dividing up your property (the car for instance) and perhaps any joint debts you are both responsible for. Many times it is possible to work these things out without attorneys, but sometimes an attorney can help people in your situation cover all the issues and avoid having to go to court somewhere down the road. Good luck.
