QuestionDoes a girlfriend have rights similar to those of a wife if she lived with a man for many years?

AnswerIt depends upon the State where she lived with her boyfriend, where she got married. In New York, for example, for a girfriend to receive anything upon separation from a boyfriend, there has to be an express promise by him to her about a certain asset.
