What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas
I am now starting to go through a divorce. My common law wife of over 6 years is now contesting that we were ever married. I have two affidavits from insurance companies in which we had benefits through that she signed and they are notarized stating we are common law. If she tries to lie in court what penalties could she face? Could she be gone after for insurance fraud? The reason she would never walk down the isle is she was receiving benefits from the state of Kansas for the children, and did not want to lose them. She received daycare expenses, health dental and vision, and also food programs. What kind of trouble will she get into if I turn her in. Could the state go after me for knowing this. I have also been paying child support while we lived together for 71/2 years.
