Re: common law marriage
IF you are common law married, then he has no more (or less) right to possession of the home than you do. If you are not common law married, then he can insist that you leave, and he can file an eviction action if you do not. Only the Family Court can determine if you really are common law married or not.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
