My boyfriend of 13 years said it is over last night. We have comingled all of our monies far 12 of the last 13 years. We file taxes joint married . Do I need a divorce? Our assets include a home with 156000.00 mortgage (my name is on the 2nd mtg) not 1st or the deed. We each own new paid off vehicles. Last year we jointly purchased a 24' boat which was purchased on his credit card. I currently have no job, I am laid off. We have no children together. We also have very little savings. I have a retirement of about 800.00 and his about 30000.00. I dont know what to do.

Re: after 13 years splitting up
Well depending on what you said to each other you may have a common law marriage and need a divorce.
Consult with an attorney that understands common law marriages.
You can't form one in PA now but you could have 13 years ago.
Good luck to you.
