You need to get in touch with a lawyer fast. Some areas will treat common-law relationships exactly like marriages. But you need to find out the laws that apply for where you live. So get in touch with a family lawyer. At the least, it may stop your partner from selling the house out from underneath your *ss, and require them to sell their half interest to you alone.
By the way, if there is an outstanding mortgage on the house, this will be taken into consideration when dividing the property. Your partner may only be entitled to half of the equity earned in the home.

Get a lawyer... no your foster kids are not magic.... depending on the state most states are 50/50 today. Which means you both sell the house or you buy him out. You need to see a lawyer right away... you may lose your foster children.

Depends who's name is on the deed. If you have foster kids I would also inquire how to get housing if you have to sell the house. If you have to buy his half out then work out a deal with him!! Either way get a lawyer!!

Your split is perhaps by mutual consent.
If the house is his property-better leave it to him. If u have a share in it, then take back ur share and live separately with ur kids. Why fight for something which is not urs legally.

was the house purchased mutually or by him? if by him you have no legal obligation in staying in the house and you need to buy him out in order to stay. if it was bought mutually then you can take him to court

It depends on whose name is on the deed and the terms of a divorce settlement.
