Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorced but lived together for 8 years afterwards

Are we considered common law married even though we were divorced 13 years ago? We have been living together for over 8 years? The house is in his name and we don't have any bills together except our car insurance which list me as his spouse.He has introduced me as his spouse to others. We have one child together.

He wants to seperate. Am I entitled to anything? I was with him when he purchased the house and have put a lot of time and money into fixing it up.

Thanks for your reponses.

Doesn't sound like he wants to separate - sounds like wants to kick you out & keep every thing you have invested. If you want to make this common-law marriage claim, I urge you to hire a lawyer in your area.
