Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
I live in the state of Missouri.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 14 years. Not married. We have a son that is 12.
My question-I will be inheriting a large amount of money from my step-father (mother has passed) within the next year. What is my boyfriend entitled to? Anything, since we are not married??

Under the facts you described, your boyfirend would nto have a direct claim to any of the money you would inherit from a step parent. He might be able to show that you are common law spouses, but still not be able to get any of it. However, he might be able to seek a change in the child support Order.
Good Luck
Your boyfriend has no legal claim to your inheritance whatsoever. There is no common law marriage in Missoouri despite what the previous answer implied.
