California does not recognize common-law marriage.
For a marriage to exist in California, the parties need to have formally married, which generally must be proved through a marriage certificate or other documentation.
However, California does provide for alimony after an unmarried romantic relationship under specific circumstances.
In what as known as a "Marvin" claim, the former romantic partner who requests alimony (in civil court, not family court) must generally prove that he or she was induced to sidetrack a career and was promised financial support.

California imposes stringent damages remedies, sanctions and attorney's fees against a spouse who breaches his or her fiduciary duties to the other spouse.
A transfer of property ownership or other transaction that results from undue influence or another form of breach may be set aside, and concealed assets or other property may be forfeited to the other spouse.
Our attorneys collectively have decades of experience in handling claims for breach of fiduciary duty and corresponding damages claims.
