What Happens After 15 Years in common law marriage in Washington state?
Is there recognition of common law marriage in Washington state? Ive been in a committed relationship with my partner for the past 15 years so if we decide to part ways, what do I get? He is much richer than I am and we are both past the age of 60. I’m wondering what kind of my rights I have in this case.
