What legal rights accrue in your state to an unmarried woman who lives with a man for 13 years "as husband and wife" who then is abandoned? Does it make any difference if she had received an oral promise of future support? What if they had a child? You may either refer to a legal encyclopedia in your library or surf the web. In either case, search under the subject index of "cohabitation," "same-sex marriage," and "domestic partnerships."
