What is the name of your state?Texas
Ok, me and my common law husband seperated in May of this year. He has since gotten married and so I filed for child support. I found out that we have to get a divorce for me to do this and all I need to know is what to do. I know that I have to go get a paper to prove that we are common law married and he has to take it to the court house where he got married. But is that all and will he get into trouble becasue he got married when he was common law married to me? Will he be charged will with perjury or bigamy? Because we honestly didn't know to seperate a common law marriage you had to get a divorce. Help me please. I am going crazy.
