Abbreviated story:
Moved in together in 2000.
Bought a house together in 2001 (both on the mortgage).
Had two children in 2004 and 2005.
Sold the house in 2007.
Separated in 2009.
Almost all debts in that time were in my name because he was self employed and had bad credit.
My question is - would the courts treat us as married or common-law in this situation? Since I earn more would I be on the hook for spousal support? Our income split is about 60/40.
