Is there any way I can pay rent to my significant other and this not be considered cohabitation?
answered on Sep 6, 2018
I do not think just paying rent cancels out the co-habitation. You should have an attorney review your agreement and advise you.

I do not agree with what the police told you. Perhaps they thought he had lived there before. However, it seems they will not help you. You should file for a divorce so the court can enter orders re this property. You should retain an attorney to help you with this.
During divorce I didn’t ask that he refinance because it’s a 2006 and his credit was too far gone, so it wasn’t going to happen. So there was no stipulation. Just flat out, he was able to keep the vehicle

You will likely be held responsible for any deficiency (loan balance minus sale proceeds after repo). Therefore, you should try to avoid having this happen. You may have some recourse against him depending on what your divorce orders say.
Im disabled so havent had a job or filed taxes in a couple years. How will that work in divorce court when financial papers are due? Also can i request counseling

You still need to report your actual income on your Sworn Financial Statement. You are also supposed to exchange 3 years of tax returns.

The court will usually approve a parenting plan agreed to by the parties, unless something stands out as not being in the best interests of the children. The court would probably approve what you are describing.

The papers her attorney is requesting are required by Colorado disclosure law. You should just go ahead and provide them.

At present you have no rights except possibly as a month to month tenant. If you are indeed married and you file for a dissolution of marriage, you may have rights to marital property and maintenance. This can be a complicated question and you should confer with a family law attorney.
