Was in relationship for 9 yrs. we have 3 children. We originally started out in an apartment that was rented by me. When i was pregnant with first child his family gave us a gift of a down payment on a home. The home never had my name on it. But i was responsible for all the bills, utilities, maintenance and up keep finacially. That house was sold and we purchased a second home again my name never went on it but the finaciall payout for bills and everything else fell on me while he sat back and just made mortgage payments. do I have any claim in the home after 9 yrs and we are seperating???

Tammy i do not want to get you angry but you need to prove on paper your contribution. If the house is in his name you may have a hard time. This is not a 50/50 split in common law but with 3 children that I assume are his children also you may have a chance. I recommend to go see a lawyer right away. Check the link below has lots of information, there is a file "all you should know about family law"
