I have been with my boyfriend for 12 years. We bought this house together although only his name is on it. I was divorced and he said he could get a better credit score if we weren't married. 12 years later we still are not married and I want to leave. I have paid half of all of the mortgage payments, I don't believe that we are considered legally common law married. Do I have any legal rights at all to the house? Or am I just simply stupid and out of luck? We live in Colorado if that makes any difference.
