common-law separation

[Katherine1977]

If you have a mortgage with someone and are not married, can one move out as long as you are still contributing to the mortgage until the house is sold?

Of course they can.

Quite frankly you don't have to pay the mortgage if you want to risk your credit being ruined. Mortgages are joint and severable. Meaning that the obligation is 100% each individual's who signed the mortgage. You don't have a common law separation however.

And whether or not common law marriage is even recognized in the OP's STATE, which she so conveniently managed to ignore/erase that question.

I just ignored that part because it doesn't make one whit of difference as far as moving out.

Yeah but she also said she WAS NOT MARRIED. Hence she couldn't have a common law marriage even if the state does recognize it because she did not consider herself married.
