It depends on what you mean by living "as husband and wife."

Did you represent yourselves to others as being married?

Did you have an AGREEMENT to be married (married in the present tense)?

Did you file income tax returns as husband and wife?

I agree with Attorney Dunn. If you can show that you are married then you must file for divorce like any other married couple.

It appears that you are in the Houston area.

There are many fine attorneys in Houston. Look on this website & on www.avvo.com.
