Stephanie and Alfred moved to Missouri after 15 years of living in Oklahoma. All during the time

Question:

Stephanie and Alfred moved to Missouri after 15 years of living in Oklahoma. All during the time they were together in Oklahoma, they held themselves out as husband and wife, lived together, and shared common property. Now Alfred wants to leave Stephanie. He has been the sole wage earner the whole time they have been together. Therefore, he wants to take all the property except a bed and an old car. Stephanie believes that Alfred owes her far more than that. She feels they have been married at common law and, therefore, she has the same rights as any other divorcing spouse. Alfred points out that Missouri does not have common-law marriage, so she has no such rights. Who is correct?
