no common law marraige in calif 10yrs w/man???help

[imfrenchkitty]

What is the name of your state? california.
I have lived with my b/f,for 10 years,he refers to me as his wife/him husband.So do friends & aquaintances.He has been our supporter,we had the typical wife,homemaker
as well as very common knowledge that I helped him tremendously with his self employeed business.It is common knowledge that I am involved,and that I help in all or any aspects of the business,and from large amounts at times to small amounts.Now we are breaking up and he tells me to get out.

Calif. has no common law marraige I recently found out.So does this mean I can be kicked to the curb with no type of help from him,just so I can get on my feet.Is there any
type of legal support as far as having him be obligated for giving me some kind of assistance,even for a short while.

He has no problem tossing me out with nothing.That is cold and hearless after I have
stuck with him through thick and thin,helped him bring up his business,and basically
turned around his reputation as a scheister.It was painstaiking getting him to understand
the benifits of being honest with his car sales,and the majority of this county angry at him,
to lots of happy,satisfied people returning over and over because at least they knew what
was up before they bought a car.

I dont want to be tossed out and have nothing while he can remain,and eat,shower,have
shelter etc. I'm really scared.

Whose name is on the deed to the house? You need to get a job and start earning an income.

People think marriage is "just a piece of paper."
So there's no paper giving rights, no paper giving property, nothing.

Choices.

google california palimony, or marvin decision.

You cannot be awarded support based on the idea that you cohabitated, however you might be able to prove an implied contract, which would be enforceable whether or not you lived together.

Ahhh.... and everyday I see those people who think that learn just how important that "piece of paper is."





Usually about the time when life is about to kick them in the behind.
