Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Common law divorce
I have two children with a man I have
been living with for 5 years. We were
not considered common law because
he was still legally married with
someone else. I seeked an attorny in
June 2007 because I did not now if I
had any rights. According to the
attorny I did not, except child support.
In June of 2008 I returned. We have
been living together with our children.
He is not legally married since my
arrival. My question is do I have any
rights? We have one house we rent
out under both of our names. We
have a joint bank account. 1 car
under my name and two cars under his
name that were purchased this year.
The house we are living in was built
together during in 2003; but he put it
under his parents name, but their is
proof that he makes the payments.
He also has. Several businesses.
I just want what is in the best
interest of my children.
Thank you
Samantha
