From the Nevada State Code, common-law marriages are no longer
accepted and haven't been since March 29th, 1943. You can read the
relavant part below, or the full text from the link provided.

---
VALIDITY OF MARRIAGE

NRS 122.010 What constitutes marriage; no common-law marriages
after March 29, 1943.

1. Marriage, so far as its validity in law is concerned, is a
civil contract, to which the consent of the parties capable in law of
contracting is essential. Consent alone will not constitute marriage;
it must be followed by solemnization as authorized and provided by
this chapter.

2. The provisions of subsection 1 requiring solemnization shall
not invalidate any marriage contract in effect prior to March 29,
1943, to which the consent only of the parties capable in law of
contracting the contract was essential.

And He Worked And I Was A Homemaker, He Wanted It That Way. Does That Mean That He Gets The House Or Money And I Get Nothing?

It would be in your best interest to consult with an attorney.

You have not provided nearly enough information to begin to provide you with advice and so it is best that you consult an attorney.
