I am splitting up with my common law of 5.5 years.
He has a child (17 yrs old with learning disability) living with us.
I have paid most of his bills (mortgage and credit cards and house bills) for over 2 years now while his ex-wife just keeps getting additional retroactive payments and higher child support for the 3 children that live with her. His garnishment was over 50% for over 2 years now.
In addition, the house we got together is solely in his name and I have put in approx. $35,000 in renovations into this house in the past 3 years. His contribution is about $5,000.
He is now done paying and all of a sudden, he doesn't need me. (Please no rude comments about my stupidity and gullibility... been there done that.
But he has threatened me that he will take me to court for child support for the child that lives with us.
I found cases that say yes, this is possible.
Now, with the background above, will a judge actually award him child support?
He is very aggressive and acrimonious towards his ex-wife and they have been in court 42 times in 10 years. He self represents, so I am not putting this past him to do.
Also, what do I do if he tosses me out of the house, like, I just found out he can because my name is not on the deed and we are common law.
Thank you
