[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you live in DC, where they recognize common law marriage?[/quote]

Living together in no way equals common law marriage.[/quote]

Especially in DC.  Even if you DID live together for X number of years AND held yourselves out as married, you still would not be common-law married in DC.[/quote]

Well if living together and having 2 children doesn't mean common law in DC then nothing ever will.  I'm not OP and have no dog in this fight, but that's just stupid.

OP, you need to get him to agree to help you while you are looking for a job.  Start looking now.  [/quote]

In DC, in order to be common-law married, you and your spouse must have actually agreed to be married.  Like, you would be able to identify the date you were married.

Common-law marriage just isn't what people think it is.  Even in the states where living together for a certain number of years is required, you still have to have held yourself out as married.

That said, marriage isn't going to help OP now anyway--I suppose it might make it harder to kick her out of the house, but it's not going to give her any ownership rights in the property.  [/quote]
