You are not married in the eyes of the law, which means the law doesn't recognize cohabitation. You should have thought of the kids though before bringing them into this world. Now the kids are going to suffer for the thoughtlessness of their parents. 2 Likes |

I might be wrong, but cohabiting in the eyes of the law is marriage, even a simple promise to marry is judicable. You may only not need to go to the court if both can reach a binding and committed resolve to cater for the kids. 4 Likes |

Dude there is a part of the law that won't allow you to freely dump her if that's what you are up to When you cohabit with a woman for 12 months and above, the law sees the two of you as husband and wife and this is what is called common law marriage She is now your common law wife and you are estopped from denying the existence of marriage Yes 17 Likes 1 Share |

A lawyer once told me that once you cohabit with a woman for more than a year, that you’re both married in the eyes of the law. Don’t know how true is that 9 Likes |

Remijuice: Just because you didn't marry does not mean your union is not qualified to be one. Bear in mind, your union may be considered one under customary law depending on your ethnic group and associated precedents. If the "divorce" is mutual and everything else is resolved amicably, then no worries. However, if there exist a fight or some contention on rights to kids etc, then you can actually sue your partner and get him or her to pay palimony etc. That's allowed in some states in US and even Europe, and possibly Nigeria--why not? Either way, you should talk to a lawyer. Palimony https://www.divorcenet.com/states/nationwide/palimony 1 Like |

Hey man,you have no marriage whatsoever,either by law or by custom.You guys are at best cohabitants and any of you can walk away at any time.However if you promised the lady marriage and she may have furnished consideration,then you may be liable for breach of promise of marriage,and she can get damages against you. |

Sometimes, the people who rush to comment really do not have anything tangible to say. I've taken up the constituion to read a couple of times, and I remember reading somewhere about common law marriage if the couple have lived together for a specified period of time... and the union produced children. 7 Likes |

He said I can always come to check the kids, girl 5 years, boy 1 year 3 months. He didn't talk about assets sharing. But he is asking me to leave just like that... If not he will cause a scene....
