So you've been living together for
years in Texas. You must be married, right?
Maybe not.
Under Texas law, you can enter into
a commonlaw marriage one of two ways.
1 - You can go down to a county courthouse
and declare a commonlaw marriage.
2 - You can meet three conditions,
without declaring it. If you
a - actually reside together, instead
of just sleeping together; and you
b - consider yourselves married; and
you
c - hold yourselves out to the community
as being married, then you're married.
And, you may need to file a divorce
if you split up. If you've got mutually owned property or children,
you'll definitely need a divorce. Find out how to do your own
