Answer 1

Well, put it to you this way,  what you have paid for so far, doesnt matter.   You paid for your time while you were living there.   You arent entitled to anything, because legally you arent married.  

Now, if they made you pay the month, consider it rent.   Let's say, you pay them rent every 20th of the month, by the 20th of the next month you better have your things out.  In some places, they have to give you months notice ahead of time, however, this is when you have a lease written out with a landlord...I am assuming you are living there without any kind of contract.   If you would have had one, you could have fought it in court, and possibly get away with living a few months rent free since they are the ones kicking you out.

Before the time is up, I suggest you get your things out of there.   If you paid for the month, then you have all rights to utilize that space until the very last day.   Keep your reciept of everything.   She cannot just throw your things out without giving you a chance to pick them up.  Now, if you went over a month, without paying rent money, then by all means she is in the right.  

To avoid any confrontations, i would just take my things and leave.  

Good Luck.

Also, if you paid go to your local police department, if that is your place of residence, see what help you can get for it. They shouldnt be allowed to kick you out just like that, by changing the locks on you.   I also forgot that in some states, some governements do recognize common law marriages...ones in which it was never through courts, but you can prove that you coexsisted with them for many years.  I do not know the technicalities of it, but if it really bothers you, see if you can shed a few dollars to consult with a lawyer.

Answer 2

This is sort of confusing.   The house is his parents, even if you could claim to be a common law wife you are not entitled to his parents property.  You are only a renter.

If this is just about leaving their rental unit you have to be evicted, which could take them from 15-60 days, depending on what state you are in.

If they change the locks you can call the police and they will either get you a key or rekey the house for you, at the landlords expense.

You need to keep the situations straight.   His family and their property purchases do not concern you.   Your concern is landlord/tenant law.

If your landlord breaks in, key or no key, and throws your stuff in the street, or anywhere you can charge them with breaking and entering.   The own the property, but have no rights to illegally evict you.

Answer 3

Depends on where you live- in Canada you'd be considered legal spouses and you'd be entitled to something, I'd think. Consult with Legal Aid.

Answer 4

.  Did you have any idea that his family would be mean to you?  Or have they changed since you broke up.  That was nice of you to pay on the house for so long. That is a dream situation for the owner.

Protect your stuff immediately.  Get over there.  Beg a neighbor to allow you to store it in their garage for 24 hours.  Or on their patio.  Just get it out Tuesday.  The police will let you in if the door is locked. Don't worry about an eviction notice.  He is mad at you today.  He will be sorry in 3 weeks but it will be too late by then.
