It depends on the State. Some states recognize "Common Law Marriage', in which two people who have lived together for a certain amount of time, or have children together, are considered married even though they have not had a ceremony or signed the paper. In some states, longtime companions of wealthy people have sued and won part of the wealth if they split. Courts are inclined to look on these suits more kindly if the couple have a child together, or if the partner contributed non-materially to the well-being of the wealthy person. In some states unmarried people have no rights at all.

There are nine community property states - Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. In addition, Puerto Rico is a community property jurisdiction. These states generally regard as community property all property that has been acquired during the marriage, other than a gift or inheritance. Even if one spouse earns all the money to acquire the property, all the property acquired is considered to be community property. While there are a number of differences in each state, all states have special laws that operate on the theory that both spouses contribute equally to the marriage; thus all property acquired during the marriage is the result of the combined efforts of both spouses. In community property jurisdictions, spouses equally own all community property (fifty percent owned by the husband and fifty percent owned by the wife).
