I will "assume" when she left, you filed for child custody and child support ?

If not that is the first thing, The issue biggest is that you are not married, if you were married, then joint assets, perhaps spouse support for a number of years. If your name is on the house, you and her can sell the house and perhaps split the money ( if there is any equity in the house)

But basically from child support ( and that can take months to get started if you have not already filed) and if she fights it. You need to get a job, get back to work and support the kids.

Why didn't you marry? Since most places have abolished common law marriage you may not be entitled to anything. You need to consult an attorney familiar with local laws, but I don't hold out much hope.

Whoops, I missed that YOU have the kids. If that is true then yes you can file and probably collect child support from her.
