Will I lose my common law marriage if I move to another state?

Answered by attorney Patricia Christine Van Haren (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Moradi Neufer
California does not recognize common law marriage at all. If you are temporarily in California you may be able to remain in the common law marriage once you go back to Colorado.

Can I claim any of other assets (i.e. his 401k, savings, cars, motorbikes, etc.) besides the house as part of the final settlement?

Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
As you are not married you do not get any of his assets. I hope your name is on title to the house so you can get a share of the proceeds.

How can I get an uncontested divorce?

To get a divorce, you must file papers with the court and have your husband served. Once that happens, the case will proceed even if he doesn't agree to sign papers.
