VerifiedHello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.
I am sorry to hear of your concern.
How long have you lived with your boyfriend for?
Would he sign a cohabitation agreement?
That is correct re common law.
Yes their evidence would be great.
If he won't agree to add your name to the title then alarm bells should be sounding. I would seriously reconsider your relationship.
