Common Law in Wisconsin

[TheGeneral]

What is the name of your state? Wisconsin

Hello, I am curious as if there is common law in the state of wisconsin. My mother and father divorced about 5 years ago. Since then my dad has a girlfriend that has been living with him. She doesn't really work and seems to live off of him. I believed there was another term besides "common marriage law" but can't seem to find the word for it.

Him and his girlfriend have separate checking accounts, he has a vehicle in his name and she has hers in her name, the house is in his name and he pays all of the bills. If they live together for a certain amount of time, if she entitled to half of what he has?

If someone could please help me on this I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.
Steve

In no state does common law just mean people live together.

And, in WI NO action creates a common law marriage. There simply is no common law marriage in WI.

Thanks Nextie. I didn't think they had it but I was not ready to look it up.
