What is the name of your state? Alabama
Have been living with ex husband for 10 years now in same house, etc. I received a phone call Mon afternoon by his best friend who also works with him ( we have a printing business that I too work) that my ex has just moved in with his friends wife - I was blindsided - I have no money and he has left me livinging in a house that he has decided to quit making payments on. I understand that in Alabama we are common law married? There is more and I need help fast

The following link explains the requirements of common law marriage in Alabama. Check to see if you meet the requirements. (The link was broken up to keep the box small.)

I meet the common law requirements of Alabama - I already know that. We have been living together as husband and wife.

Well, that was your only question. You'll need to be more specific about what you need help with. Is his name on the mortgage? Do you plan to file for divorce again? Will he agree that you are common law married?
