Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I am filing a complaint for legal separation in the state of Nevada. My husband and I lived together 14 years as a couple before getting married. We've only been married a little over a year, we have no children together, and have lived apart for 3 months now. Am I entitled to spousal support? He never added me to his medical insurance, his retirement, or his life insurance. Am I entitled to these as well?

The only answer that anyone can really give you is "maybe." There is a legal precedent in your situation for both asking for property division (including retirement benefits) as to all assets acquired during the years of cohabitation, and for requesting spousal support, but very little is "for sure" or guaranteed in such circumstances, in either direction.
For information, see my articles on this subject, which are posted on the page of our firm website titled http://willicklawgroup.com/palimonycohabitation/.
In any event, however, these cases very fact-specific. You need a full consultation with a family law specialist, and soon.
