Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Hello, I moved from New York to Texas with my boyfriend with my two children. We've been living together for 4 months and now he wants to evict us. What are my rights and how long do I have to live with him to have my right? Please advise.

Thank you

Make him go through the full eviction process. If you can prove that this is your current home address only a judge can evict you.

In TX we have common law marriage. But if you call him your boyfriend you are not common law married.

You can read the qualifications for a common law marriage in the TX Family Code which is available for free on-line.

If he is only your boyfriend, you have "no rights" -- I'm not sure what you mean by that phrase.

If you have any questions, call a family law attorney in your county - look on this website and on www.avvo.com
