Re: propertys between commonlaw marrage
I agree with Ms. Brochstein. If there have been NO court proceedings however, and you are both listed on the property, you could well have a civil claim to the property. Talk to a lawyer in your area, and see if you have recourse.
Re: propertys between commonlaw marrage
If you were only common law married, you lost the right to sue for divorce 2 years AFTER you separated.
It is presumed that you would have filed for divorce within 2 years if you were married.
You can still sue for custody and child support of the 4 children.
Merry Christmas!
