Re: Common Law Marriage
Common law marriages in Pa were recently stricken by statute. To determine whether or not your relationship was a common law marriage requires a fact sensitive examination. Some of the factors are if you and "husband" held yourself out to the world as being married, joint tax returns. I offer free consultations.
