Does the prenup say that you get of everything in a divorce or if he dies? If the former, you need to divorce him and get your money now. If it says you get that if he dies, then you have a conflict with the will and that may cause problems for everybody. You should contact the Idaho State Bar and get a referral so that you know what to do.

You don't have to sign a declaration of marriage to be married by common law in Texas. However, if she was already married to someone else, just cohabiting with you and holding herself out as married to you doesn't make her a bigamist. Likewise, cohabiting with the next guy doesn't make her a bigamist even if she's married to you by common law. You can't get married by common law if you're already married. Even if she married someone else formally after she split with you, you're very, very unlikely to get a prosecutor to charge her with bigamy. Your right to claim common law marriage will end two years after the split if you haven't filed for divorce by then.

You asked:  How do i get my name off of a mortgage loan.Additional Details:when the ex and i filed for divorce, i gave her the house along with the mortgage loan. the judge stated she was responsible for the loan and she filed a quick claim deed, however chase manhatten does not recognize this and refuses to take my name off of the mortgage. now i cant qualify for a loan because my name is already on her loan. how do i get my name off the loan I am a Michigan attorney, and would recommend that you talk to a local attorney; however, I believe I can give you some guidance.  A Judgment of Divorce cannot change the contract you have with the mortgage lender.  Even though the Judgment of Divorce may award the house to your ex-wife along with the debt obligation, If she fails to pay the mortgage, you could be sued, but you would have the right to seek reimbursement from your ex-wife.  I usually include in the Judgments I prepare a provision that the person receiving the house gets the debt, and must refinance the debt into his/her name within 90 days.  Once she refinances, then you would not longer be obligated on the debt.  You should check your Judgment of Divorce to see if that provision is included.  If so, and if your ex-wife refuses to refinance, then you may have to file a motion seeking help from the Court.
