What is the name of your state? Missouri

I don't think Missouri recognizes common law marriage. Question is: can one of the parties be sued or forced to divide property(business and its assets) that the other party has helped them build, run and manage for the last 25 plus years?

Ajax...your right, common law marriages have been prohibited in Missouri since June 20, 1921; persons involved in such relationships have no legal interest in common property unless both names are on deeds, etc. I hope your name is on some of what you helped build. Good luck
