No, actually you’re wrong. Even if you live in a state that does not practice common law marriage, you probably live in a state that adheres to the concept of cohabitation. I’ve looked at the laws myself for my state, and it’s clear that a man can be held responsible for non-marital alimony just for having a woman reside on his property. No paperwork is necessary, not even a verbal agreement. The laws are totally stacked against men and it’s complete bullshit.
