Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Where were you common law married?

Massachusetts does not have common law marriage. It does not recognize it.

individuals who live together without being married are afforded no special protection beyond that afforded by traditional concepts of contract law, constructive trust law, and the like.

In your circumstances you would most likely be allowed to take the assetts your brought to the relationship, and the other things split evenly between you.
