Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Do I have the right to sue for half the value of my common law partners retirement/salary? I live in Pennsylvania and have no legal documents of Common Law - just own a home together for the last 8 years. Do not have a combined checking account, but both parties pay the bills.
