Re: custody

Maybe. Custody issues are complex and dependent on many factors. Arrange to consult with a good family law attorney.

Amen to Pat Bushman's answer.

You are only allowed to be married to one person at a time in the State of Texas.

If you truly have a common law marriage, then you need to file for divorce within 2 years of separation.

I'd call Pat Bushman for a consultation, she is excellent!

I charge $150 for an hour to go over your options and try to explain Texas law to you!
