Provided the marriage has met the legal requirements of the state to be considered Common Law, there would be a presumption of joint custody. However, simply living together for some period of time does not not meet those requirements, In those few states that still recognize it, each states have minimum standards that must be met. If those standards are not met, a common law marriage does not exist and the mother than has Sole Custody and Control. The father would have no assumed rights. see link below

In a divorce or separation agreement, the primary custodial parent is typically the parent who has the majority of physical custody of the child. Factors considered in determining this role include the child's best interests, the parent's ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment, the parent's relationship with the child, and any history of abuse or neglect.


If a minor child living with a custodial parent gets into a wreck and the custodial parent canceled the minor from the policy can the non custodial parent be liable?

No. The parent with custodial rights is totally liable especially since the child was living with you while it happened.AnswerThat depends on several factors such as why the coverage was canceled, when it was canceled, who allowed the child to drive the car, whether the issue is addressed in the separation agreement, etc. If the custodial parent canceled insurance coverage for a reason and the non-custodial parent allowed the child to drive in spite of the cancellation, the non-custodial parent may be liable. If the child wrecked a car and as a result the custodial parent canceled the insurance coverage so they could no longer drive, the non-custodial parent would be liable if they continue to allow the child to operate a vehicle.
