Re: common law marriage in SC
You should consider finding an experience family law attorney and filign an action in Family Court to have the common law marriage determined. At that point, you can ask the Court to allocate the assets/debts, grant you alimony, etc.
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.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
