A: Your real question appears to be "was my son relationship with his girl friend considered a common law marriage thus entitling her to all ot part of his estate"? This, like so many legal questions are fact specific. I suggest you find competent counsel to review your specific facts. There are a number of firms, such as Daniel B Kelley Attornet at Law, that offer a free consultation. I suggest you contact one.
