What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH
I have been in a 2.5 yr 'common law' relationship. Separation is imminent. We have been living together with his 2 children from prior marriage in home we purchased with money (down payment of 10%) from my 401K two years ago this coming October. He paid mortgage from Dec 07 through Jan 09. (With maybe 2 exceptions, he's refused to pay some or all of the mortgage from Feb 09 to present.) All along I have been paying some utility bills, all home repairs, most car repairs, car insurance, cell phone, and other misc bills plus my monthly credit card payments and our timeshare mortgage and fees. Savings now gone. Living off what is left of 401K. He has full-time job. I've been unable to find job in my field for 1.5 yrs. Have PT in retail. I am in debt up to my eyeballs due to maxed out credit cards that originally had high credit limits. If one of us leaves, who has rights to house? Can I sue to get my credit cards paid? There were no balances prior to start of relationship.
