Question of the Day:
I have been in a relationship with the same man since 1998. We have two children together. We have never been married but have filed taxes as married. i purchased our home 2002 from his mother. My mother's name is first on the note then mine, his name is nowhere on the note. Does he have any rights to the home? – Shannon
Answer:
Shannon: Maybe not, but you left out a few facts that we need to know to make sure. Do you live in one of those handful of jurisdictions that recognizes common law marriage? Is there a written cohabitation or equity sharing agreement? Is his name on the deed?
