Q: I have someone living with me. We are not married. She is about to become a ward of the state for mental health issues..
. Can the State come after my money or assets? Like using common law or anything crazy?
A: I'm sorry your question remains open for five weeks. One option might be to repost under Divorce, Family Law, and Public Benefits. Although your situation is obviously not a divorce, attorneys who practice in those areas would probably have the most insight about financial rights and duties arising in traditional, non-traditional, common law living arrangements. Good luck to both of you.
