Will she be entitled to a portion of the house or back pay?
Thanks!
Well as I read post #5 or 6, Guzman said there is no common law marriage so what basis does she have to your house? Is her name on the deed?
He said in a common law relationship the partners get recognition of:
a. family law=maternity leave
b. criminal law= domestic violence
c. surrogate law=survivor benefits and tort actions.
then all the stipulations that I dont see how any one in a common law relationship could exercise past maternity leave.
a) the couple must have lived as if they were husband and wife, in a public relationship, not hidden or secret;
b) the relationship must be stable and long-lasting;
c) the relationship must be monogamous and non-adulterous since its origins ; and
d) the couple should be of different sexes. The ruling goes on to say expressly that "marriage and extra matrimonial companionship are not . . equivalent realities?.
In your case, it is all in her mouth and not in the world.
